Abstract
In this paper we analyze with both analytical calculations and numerical techniques the properties of the resonant features of such metal gratings sandwiched between thin dielectric films. The induced frequency shifts of the transmission resonances can allow the determination of the permittivity of the films. Further, we investigate for the first time how the sensitivity of the gratings (sensors) can be improved by different grating geometries.
