摘要：
In this talk we introduce microscopic models of the extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) to identify the respective contributions of the SPP and of another surface wave, called quasi-cylindrical wave (QCW) to the EOT. In the model we first consider the SPP and neglect all other fields on the metal surface [1], so as to identify the pure contribution of SPP to EOT and to reconcile the previous debates on the role of SPP in EOT. Comparing the prediction of the pure-SPP model and the fully-vectorial calculations that automatically incorporate the total field on the metal surface, we find that the contribution of the SPP to EOT gradually decreases as the wavelength increases from the visible to infrared, while the contribution from another residual QCW gradually becomes dominant. Further analysis shows that this is due to the weaker excitation of SPPs but an almost constant excitation of QCWs with the increase of the wavelength. We then incorporate both the SPP and the QCW into the model [2], which shows perfect agreement with fully-vectorial results, confirming the fact the EOT is solely due to the contribution from the two surface waves and no other field needs to be considered. The validity of the model has been confirmed by recent experimental results [3]. In the experiment the transmittance of a set of hole arrays with various densities is measured in visible wavelength ranges and is well reproduced by the model. The model predicts a more dominant contribution of SPPs to the EOT for sparser array of holes, which is due to the longer propagation distance of the SPP than the QCW.
