Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications (2007, background): “…the angular dependence of the transmission, reflection and absorption of light by a metal film perforated with an array of subwavelength holes has confirmed the role of SPPs, excited via diffraction of the impinging light beam in the transmission process [Ghaemi et al., 1998, Barnes et al., 2004].”
Light passing through subwavelength apertures (2010, result): “By comparing the results of the transmitted, reflected, and absorbed power associated with the EOT process in 2D hole arrays, Barnes et al. 2004 were able to conclude that SPP modes act to enhance the EM fields at the metal surface, thus providing a way for enhancing the transmittance through the…”
