Advanced terahertz electric near-field measurements at sub-wavelength diameter metallic apertures: Erratum

An erratum is presented to correct an error in the discussion section of [Opt. Express. 16, 7407-7417 (2008)] and to add a relevant reference on earlier work.

Advanced terahertz electric near-field measurements at sub-wavelength diameter metallic apertures

Using terahertz-light excitation, we have measured with sub-wavelength spatial, and sub-cycle temporal resolution the time- and frequency-dependent electric-field and surface-charge density in the vicinity of small metallic holes. In addition to a singularity like concentration of the electric field near the hole edges, we observe, that holes...

Extraordinary transmission through 1, 2 and 3 holes in a perfect conductor, modelled by a mode expansion technique

We discuss a mode expansion technique to rigorously model the diffraction from three-dimensional pits and holes in a perfectly conducting layer with finite thickness. On the basis of our simulations we predict extraordinary transmission through a single hole, caused by the Fabry-Perot effect inside the hole. Furthermore, we study the fundamental...
