Near-Field Analysis of Bright and Dark Modes on Plasmonic Metasurfaces Showing Extraordinary Suppressed Transmission
Plasmonic metasurfaces are investigated that consist of a sub-wavelength line pattern in an ultrathin (∼10 nm) silver fi lm, designed for extraordinary suppressed transmission (EOST) in the visible spectral range. Measurements
with a near-fi eld scanning optical microscope (NSOM) demonstrate that farfi eld irradiation resonantly excites antenna-like (bright) modes that are localized on the metal ridges. The re-radiation of these modes into the far-fi eld
interferes destructively with the transmitted wave, thus suppressing transmission almost completely. In contrast, a second type of mode, bound (dark) surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) launched from an NSOM tip, propagates
well across the metasurface, preferentially perpendicular to the grating lines.
