Abstract
We present numerical simulations in order to investigate the coupling of the incident radiation to Surface Plasmon polaritons (SPPs) by metallic relief gratings. When the frequency of the SPPs is coincident with the electromagnetic waves, there is a strong absorption of the electromagnetic waves. This phenomenon is called surface Plasmon resonance (SPR). The effects of surface materials, characteristics of incident light and the geometrical shapes on the SPR are studied by using the rigorous coupled-wave algorithm (RCWA). The results reveal that a peak of high emissivity is obtained for Au compared with W, Cu and Al. This explained that the gold is the best transition metal used for the excitation of SPPs. At the resonance the absorption of light by the (Au) grating is greater for grazing than normal incident light. Every considered transition material has the particular wavelength emission region and the period emission region. The influence of gratings geometric parameters on the SPR is also presented.
