Abstract

The interaction of visible light with the particle-plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles can be controlled by geometrical arrangement of nanoparticle arrays. These arrays are placed on a substrate that supports guided modes in the wavelength range of the particle plasmon. Coupling of this particle-plasmon resonance to the directly incident light and to the waveguide modes results in almost complete suppression of light extinction within narrow spectral bands due to destructive interference. Variation of the structure parameters allows continuous tuning of these high-transmission bands across the particle-plasmon resonance.
