| Abstract: | Abstract We demonstrate that the rectangular nanohole arrays perforated in a 100 nm gold film can be used to tune the polarization direction of the transmitted light with maximum rotation angle of about 30 degrees. Theoretical analysis with the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations indicates that this phenomenon is attributed to the excitation of the surface plasmon wave on the gold film surface and the resonance of localized surface plasmon in the hole. With multiple plasmon resonances, the plasmonic waveplate can realize multi-wavelength polarization modulation. Our results may be useful to understanding the physical mechanism of enhanced plasmon mediated transmission and potential applications in plasmonic optical components. |
