Abstract

Transmission properties of metallic gratings coated symmetrically with a dielectric layer on both sides are studied theoretically. For subwavelength narrow slits, besides cavity resonances in slits and surface plasmon-polaritons, a new kind of mechanisms for enhanced transmission in coated metallic gratings, namely, guided resonances in the dielectric coating layers, is found. Transmission peaks mediated by guided resonances are found to be much sharper than those mediated by cavity or surface plasmon-polariton resonances.
