| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the research field of the plasmonics, we successively make use of the tools of computational electromagnetics and clarify the characteristics of the surface plasmon resonance absorption. This phenomenon is related with enhancing electric field energy of visible light near noble-metal structures, and is useful for improving the efficiency of optical devices. In order to know the relation between metal geometry and resonance effect, we deal with one- or two-dimensionally periodic structures composed of strips, cylinders, disks, spheres, and corrugated films. The numerical analysis is based on the Wiener-Hopf technique, the integral equation methods, and the mode matching method. The physical cause of resonance is discussed from three viewpoints of interference between edges, interference due to periodicity, and formation of guided wave modes. Numerical computations reveal the dependence of resonance conditions on metal parameters quantitatively.
