    Non-universal behavior of leaky surface waves in a one dimensional asymmetric plasmonic grating
    (American Institute of Physics Inc., 2015) Vempati S.; Iqbal, T.; Afsheen, S.
    We report on a non-universal behavior of leaky surface plasmon waves on asymmetric (Si/Au/analyte of different height) 1D grating through numerical modelling. The occurrence of the leaky surface wave was maximized (suppressing the Fabry-Perot cavity mode), which can be identified in a reflection spectrum through characteristic minimum. Beyond a specific analyte height (h), new sets of surface waves emerge, each bearing a unique reflection minimum. Furthermore, all of these minima depicted a red-shift before saturating at higher h values. This saturation is found to be non-universal despite the close association with their origin (being leaky surface waves). This behavior is attributed to the fundamental nature and the origin of the each set. Additionally, all of the surface wave modes co-exit at relatively higher h values. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

    Resonant excitation of surface plasmons in one-dimensional metallic grating structures at microwave frequencies
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2005) Akarca-Biyikli, S. S.; Bulu, I.; Özbay, Ekmel
    Grating-coupling phenomena between surface plasmons and electromagnetic waves were studied in the microwave spectrum using metallic gratings. Transmission measurements were carried out to observe the transmitted radiation around the surface plasmon resonance frequencies. Grating structures with subwavelength apertures were designed for transmission experiments. Measurements were made in the microwave spectrum of 10-37.5 GHz, corresponding to a wavelength region of 8-30 mm. The A1 samples had a grating periodicity of 16 mm. A 2 mm wide subwavelength slit was opened for transmission samples. Samples with one/double-sided gratings displayed remarkably enhanced transmission and directivity with respect to the reference sample without gratings. The experimental results agreed well with theoretical simulations. ∼50% transmission at 20.7 mm, ∼25-fold enhancement, and ±4° angular divergence were achieved with a ∼λ/10 aperture.
