Abstract: | In this letter, we investigate the extraordinary optical transmission behavior of a flat continuous metal film sandwiched by magnetic plasmonic structures. A new mechanism by utilizing higher order magnetic plasmon resonance is proposed to enhance the transmission. Numerical simulation results show that 80 % electromagnetic energy can be transmitted through the middle 50-nm-thick continuous gold film in near-infrared regime. The excitation of the second-order magnetic plasmons and the propagating surface plasmons, as well as the interaction between them accounts for such a high transmission. The interaction of magnetic plasmons and surface plasmons leads to new hybrid modes, and the coupled oscillator model is introduced to analyze this hybridization. This work extends the application range of higher order magnetic plasmons and may have potential in transparent electrode and electromagnetic energy transfer applications. |
