Field enhancement in a circular aperture surrounded by a single channel groove.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerical analysis of diffraction by a single aperture surrounded by a circular shallow channel in a metallic screen shows the possibility of a 50-fold increase of the electric field intensity inside the central aperture, when compared to the incident field. Detailed analysis of cavity modes and their coupling through surface plasmon wave determine the parameters leading to maximum field enhancement. This effect can be used in high-efficiency single-molecule fluorescence analysis in attoliter volumes.

We studied the grating–coupling phenomena between surface plasmons and electromagnetic waves in the microwave spectrum. We first present the experimental and theoretical results of an enhanced microwave transmission though a subwavelength circular annular aperture with and without metallic gratings. We demonstrate that a 145-fold enhancement factor could be obtained with a subwavelength circula...

recently a new structure called groove gap waveguide (GGW) is introduced to implement low loss microwave component devices especially for millimeter wave applications. This paper presents a new type of H-plane horn antenna making use of this new technology in which backward radiation is significantly suppressed by introducing a high impedance surface at the antenna aperture. The high impe...

We investigate experimentally the parameter space defining, in the visible range, the far-field diffraction properties of a single circular subwavelength aperture surrounded by periodic circular grooves milled on a metallic film. Diffraction patterns emerging from such an antenna are recorded under parallel- and perpendicular-polarized illumination at a given illumination wavelength. By monitor...

Background: Widespread of telecommunication systems in recent years, have raised the concerns on the possible danger of cell phone radiations on human body. Thus, the study of the electromagnetic fields on proteins, particularly the membrane nano channel forming proteins is of great importance. These proteins are responsible for keeping certain physic-chemical condition within cells and managin...
