Theory of resonant acoustic transmission through subwavelength apertures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A complete landscape is presented of the acoustic transmission properties of subwavelength apertures (slits and holes). First, we study the emergence of Fabry-Perot resonances in single apertures. When these apertures are placed in a periodic fashion, a new type of transmission resonance appears in the spectrum. We demonstrate that this resonance stems from the excitation of an acoustic guided wave that runs along the plate, which hybridizes strongly with the Fabry-Perot resonances associated with waveguide modes in single apertures. A detailed discussion of the similarities and differences with the electromagnetic case is also given.

Enhanced transmission of transverse electric waves through periodic arrays of structured subwavelength apertures.
Transmission through sub-wavelength apertures in perfect metals is expected to be strongly suppressed. However, by structural engineering of the apertures, we numerically demonstrate that the transmission of transverse electric waves through periodic arrays of subwavelength apertures in a thin metallic film can be significantly enhanced. Based on equivalent circuit theory analysis, periodic arr...
متن کاملResonant microwave transmission through individual sub-wavelength slits
It is well established that much more radiation may be transmitted through a set of apertures in a metallic screen than a simple calculation from the transmission through the aperture area alone would predict. There has been substantial debate regarding the exact cause of this enhanced transmission, and confusion over the difference between the behaviour of subwavelength apertures as opposed to...
متن کاملResonant transmission of cold atoms through subwavelength apertures.
Recently, it has been observed that transmission of light through subwavelength apertures, which is usually negligible, can be significantly enhanced when surface plasmons are resonantly excited. Here we introduce the idea that similar effects can be expected for cold atoms in structures supporting surface matter waves. We show that surface matter waves are possible in properly designed structu...
متن کاملTerahertz near-field vectorial imaging of subwavelength apertures and aperture arrays.
We present measurements of the complete terahertz (THz) electric near-field distribution, E(x), E(y) and E(z), in both the time- and frequency-domains, for subwavelength apertures and subsections of subwavelength aperture arrays. Measuring the individual components of the THz near-field with subwavelength spatial resolution, as they emerge from these structures, illustrates how the field intera...
متن کاملResonant transmission and beaming of cold atoms assisted by surface matter waves
We study in detail the appearance of the phenomenon of resonant transmission of matter waves cold noninteracting atoms through subwavelength apertures. We show how the emergence of this effect, first reported for electromagnetic waves, is associated with the excitation of surface matter waves, the analog of surface plasmon polaritons in the electromagnetic case. We describe the similarities and...
