Design of metallic nanoparticles gratings for filtering properties in the visible spectrum
Plasmonic resonances in metallic nanoparticles are exploited to create
efficient optical filtering functions. A Finite Element Method is used to model
metallic nanoparticles gratings. The accuracy of this method is shown by
comparing numerical results with measurements on a two-dimensional grating of
gold nanocylinders with elliptic cross section. Then a parametric analysis is
performed in order to design efficient filters with polarization dependent
properties together with high transparency over the visible range. The behavior
of nanoparticle gratings is also modelled using the Maxwell-Garnett
homogenization theory and analyzed by comparison with the diffraction by a
single nanoparticle. The proposed structures are intended to be included in
optical systems which could find innovative applications.Comment: submitted to Applied Optic
