Abstract
We present a theoretical and numerical analysis of a subwavelength plasmon-dielectric system that incorporates a periodic metal grating deposited on a dielectric waveguide and supports transmission enhancement of slow light at infrared wavelength for the s polarization. We find that a Fano resonance mechanism to produce this novel phenomenon is based on the interaction of the discrete waveguide-plasmon hybridization modes with the incident photon continuum, which is different from the popular cases with surface plasmonic modes excited by p polarized incident light. The further analysis of the Fano effect indicates that group velocity of slow light and transparent efficiency can be controlled in a large range by the coupling strength, and a more than 20-fold transmission enhancement corresponding to the group velocity of
