Improved extraordinary transmission of light through a single nano-slit by exciting the hybrid state of Tamm and surface plasmon polaritions

摘要

A novel method is proposed to effectively enhance the extraordinary optical transmission through a nano-slit. The hybrid state of Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPPs) and the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be excited. The excitation efficiency of SPPs can be improved significantly. A high transmittance through the single nano-slit is achieved.
