Secondary focusing of nanoholes of two-layered gold films
摘要
In this study, we studied FDTD-simulated transmission spectrum and near-field distribution images of nanoholes in two-layered gold (Au) films. The near-field images revealed clear interference patterns stemming from the interaction of forward and reflected surface plas1ma polaritons (SPPs). The two-layered Au film with nanoholes of different radii could focus the electric field within an area of ~ 100 nm, with an enhancement of ~ 11 times the incident electric field in the near-field images. Simulations of the near-field distributions of the two-layered Au film, after introducing a nanowire at the exit of the second nanohole, further reduced the electric field focusing width to a few tens of nanometers, i.e., an enhancement of ~ 8 times the incident electric field. Better focus and enhancement are present in the secondary focusing images in this letter.
