Abstract
Analytical theory of the enhanced optical transmission through a periodically structured metal film capable of supporting surface plasmon polaritons is presented. The spectrum of the surface-polariton Bloch modes of a nanostructured film and their electromagnetic field configuration have been derived. Two resonant regimes have been shown to contribute to the transmission enhancement associated with the surface polariton states of both or at least one of the film interfaces. The enhancement occurs due to the tunnel coupling between the electromagnetic modes on the opposite interfaces. Transmission spectra as well as far- and near-field properties of the reflected and transmitted light are discussed. The obtained results are important for understanding and applications of linear and non-linear optical properties of periodic metallic nanostructures.
