Enhanced transmission of light through a gold film due to excitation of standing surface plasmon Bloch waves

Abstract

We have observed enhanced transmission of light through a gold film due to excitation of standing surface plasmon Bloch waves in a surface Fabry-Perot resonator. Our experimental results strongly contradict the recently suggested model of light transmission via excitation of a composite diffractive evanescent wave.
