摘要: We report on the ability of resonant plasmonic slits to efficiently concentrate electromagnetic energy into a nanoscale volume absorbing material placed inside or directly behind slit. This gives rise extraordinary optical absorption characterized by an enhancement factor that well exceeds enhancements seen for transmission through slits. A semianalytic Fabry-Perot model is developed and shown quantitatively agree with full-field simulations. show nearly 1000% can be realized at 633 nm in aluminum films filled silicon. effect utilized wide range applications, including high-speed photodetectors, lithography recording, biosensors.
