Abstract:

Resonant terahertz field enhancement is investigated in arrays of subwavelength holes patterned on metals, semiconductors and superconductors. The effects of array film thickness, the dielectric function of metals, and a dielectric overlayer were investigated by the state-of-the-art terahertz spectroscopy. Extraordinary terahertz transmission was demonstrated in arrays of subwavelength holes made even from Pb, generally a poor metal, and having optically thin thicknesses less than one-third of a skin depth. We also demonstrate active control ...
