Bounded modes to the rescue of optical transmission

Michael Sarrazin, Jean Pol Vigneron

This paper presents a brief survey of the evolution of knowledge about diffraction gratings. After recalling some basic facts, historically and physically, we introduce the concept…

Optical structure and function of the white filamentary hair covering the edelweiss bracts

Jean Pol Vigneron, Marie Rassart, Zofia Vertesy +5

The optical properties of the inflorescence of the high-altitude ''Leontopodium nivale'' subsp. ''alpinum'' (edelweiss) is investigated, in relation with its submicrometer structur…

Nanomorphology of the blue iridescent wings of a giant tropical wasp, "Megascolia procer javanensis" (Hymenoptera)

Michael Sarrazin, Jean Pol Vigneron, Victoria Welch +1

The wings of the giant wasp "Megascolia Procer Javanensis" are opaque and iridescent. The origin of the blue-green iridescence is studied in detail, using reflection spectroscopy,…

Non-reciprocal optical reflection from a bidimensional array of subwavelength holes in a metallic film

Michael Sarrazin, Jean Pol Vigneron

Using simulations and theoretical arguments we investigate the specular reflection of a perforated gold film deposited on a glass substrate. A square lattice of cylindrical holes i…

Role of Wood anomalies in optical properties of thin metallic films with a bidimensional array of subwavelength holes

Michael Sarrazin, Jean-Pol Vigneron, Jean-Marie Vigoureux

Recents works deal with the optical transmission on arrays of subwavelength holes in a metallic layer deposited on a dielectric substrate. Making the system as realistic as possibl…

Polarization effects in metallic films perforated with a bidimensional array of subwavelength rectangular holes

Michael Sarrazin, Jean-Pol Vigneron

For several years, periodical arrays of subwavelength cylindrical holes in thin metallic layers have taken a crucial importance in the context of the results reported by Ebbesen et…
