Abstract :
In this study, several kinds of single-layer optical thin film filters which contain many nanometer-size particles are analyzed by solving Maxwell equations. Typical characteristics of the filters are disclosed, taking into considerations of both effects of surface plasmon and polariton in the nano-particles and polariton in the dielectric thin film; especially the very narrow bandpass property. These significant features are reduced to dipole plasmon and polariton resonances of the nano particles and the layer.
