Electromagnetic coupling mechanisms in vertically oriented metallic plasmonic inclusions

Burckel, David B.

Structured electromagnetic materials have experienced a renaissance with the emergence of metamaterial and plasmonic research. The ability to orient metallic plasmonic inclusions vertically enables orientation-dependent coupling arrangements which cannot be achieved in conventional planar engineered materials. In this paper we discuss these coupling arrangements and their effect on the measured far field scattering response to normally incident excitation.
