Abstract :
Scattering of a plane wave from a silver nanowire grating embedded into a dielectric slab is investigated using Maxwellian formalism, to determine and distinguish effects caused by the structure periodicity and the presence of silver wires which entail plasmon resonances. Comparison of two polarizations is provided. Common use of the slab and the grating gives an opportunity to maintain the effectiveness of the plasmon resonance while the variation of the slab refractive index allows managing the wavelength of the plasmon resonance.
