We show that the wide-spread concept of optical eigen modes in lossless waveguide structures, which assumes the separation on propagating and evanescent modes, fails in the case of metal-dielectric structures, including photonic crystals. In addition to these modes, there is a sequence of new eigen-states with complex values of the propagation constant and non-vanishing circulating energy flow. The whole eigen-problem ceases to be hermitian because of changing sign of the optical dielectric constant. The new anomalous modes are shown to be of prime importance for the description of the anomalous light transmission through subwavelength holes.

We present a concrete picture of spoof surface plasmons (SSPs) combined with cavity resonance to clarify the basic mechanism underlying extraordinary light transmission through metal films with subwavelength slits or holes. This picture may indicate a general mechanism of metallic nanostructure optics: When light is incident on a non-planar conducting surface, the free electrons cannot move homogeneously in response to the incident electric field, i.e., their movement can be impeded at the rough parts, forming inhomogeneous charge distributions. The oscillating charges/dipoles then emit photons (similar to Thomson scattering of x rays by oscillating electrons), and the interference between the photons may give rise to anomalous transmission, reflection or scattering.
We present a fully three-dimensional theoretical study of the extraordinary transmission of light through subwavelength hole arrays in optically thick metal films. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data. An analytical minimal model is also developed, which conclusively shows that the enhancement of transmission is due to tunneling through surface plasmons formed on each metal-dielectric interfaces. Different regimes of tunneling (resonant through a surface plasmon molecule, or sequential through two isolated surface plasmons) are found depending on the geometrical parameters defining the system.
We show how intrinsic material properties modify light transmission through subwavelength hole arrays on thin metallic films in the THz regime. We compare the temperature-dependent transmittance of Au films and MgB$_{2}$ films. The experimental data is consistent with analytical calculations, and is attributed to the temperature change of the conductivity of both films. The transmission versus conductivity is interpreted within the open resonator model when taking the skin depth into consideration. We also show that the efficiency of this temperature control depends on the ratio of the transmission peak frequency to the superconducting energy gap in MgB$_{2}$ films.
Light transmission through 2D subwavelength hole arrays in perfect-conductor films is shown to be complete (100%) at some resonant wavelengths even for arbitrarily narrow holes. Conversely, the reflection on a 2D planar array of non-absorbing scatter ers is shown to be complete at some wavelengths regardless how weak the scatterers are. These results are proven analytically and corroborated by rigorous numerical solution of Maxwells equations. This work supports the central role played by dynamical diffraction during light transmission through subwavelength hole arrays and it provides a systematics to analyze more complex geometries and many of the features observed in connection with transmission through hole arrays.
Resonant transmission of light is a surface-wave assisted phenomenon that enables funneling light through subwavelength apertures milled in otherwise opaque metallic screens. In this work, we introduce a deep learning approach to efficiently compute and design the optical response of a single subwavelength slit perforated in a metallic screen and surrounded by periodic arrangements of indentations. First, we show that a semi-analytical framework based on a coupled-mode theory formalism is a robust and efficient method to generate the large training datasets required in the proposed approach. Second, we discuss how simple, densely connected artificial neural networks can accurately learn the mapping from the geometrical parameters defining the topology of the system to its corresponding transmission spectrum. Finally, we report on a deep learning tandem architecture able to perform inverse design tasks for the considered class of systems. We expect this work to stimulate further work on the application of deep learning to the analysis of light-matter interaction in nanostructured metallic films.
