Near-Field Broadband Light Transparency via Tunneling and Cavity Effects

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work presents a broadband optical transparency structure consisting of a metal film perforated by an array of strip cavities. We theoretically demonstrate the metal film with side-coupled grooves system in model structure by the coupled model theory. The transparent light with a great bandwidth is obtained as a result of the tunneling and the resonance effect of the cavities by employing the finite-difference time-domain method simulation. By changing the parameter of the grooves in the structure, the transparency property shows a great adjustment in both wavelength and bandwidth. These structures have potential applications for transparent conductor devices.
