Submicron metallic slit arrays with different geometry were designed and fabricated on silicon substrates. Their infrared radiative properties (transmittance, reflectance, and absorptance) were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The normal transmittance of three fabricated Au slit arrays was measured at wavelengths between 2 and 15 μm using a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer. The experiment results were compared with the values calculated from the rigorous coupled-wave analysis. The applicability of the effective medium theory for modeling radiative properties was also examined. The agreement between the measurement and modeling results demonstrates the feasibility of quantitative tuning of the radiative properties by employing periodic micro/nanostructures.

We present the study based on extended Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory for the effective dielectric function of the diamond like carbon film with embedded silver nanoparticles (DLC-Ag) and rigorous coupled-wave analysis to evaluate resonance characteristics in a visible range of periodic 1-D grating structure on their base. The relief sub-wavelength grating structures on base DLC-Ag nanocomposite have been investigated for sensing applications.

Since the development almost a decade ago of the first biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR), the use of this technique has increased steadily. In this study, we theoretically investigated the sensing character of SPR sensor with reflection type metallic with Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) method, and the mechanism is analyzed by the field distribution. It is found that the sensitivity of negative diffraction order, which goes higher quickly as the resonant angle increases, is much greater than that of positive diffraction order.

In this paper, a hybrid numerical simulation tool is introduced and performed for GaInN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with metal-embedded nanostructure to theoretically predict external quantum efficiency (EQE), which composed of finite-difference time-domain, rigorous coupled wave analysis, and ray tracing. The advantage is that the proposed method provides results supported by sufficient physical background within a reasonable calculation time. From the simulation results, the EQE of LED with Ag-nanoparticles embedded nanostructure is expected to be enhanced by as high as ∼1.6 times the conventional LED device in theory.
