摘要
We study the spectral properties of a triangular plasmonic nanoslit-cavity with periodic triangular grooves to optimize the field enhancement inside the nanoslit. This work is mainly based on numerical calculations and also partly supported by experimental evidence. In the nanoslit-cavity, we can distinguish following three main contributions to the field enhancement: electrostatic interaction in the nanoslit, surface plasmon polariton standing waves in the cavity and excitation, and reflection of surface plasmon polaritons by the grating. The importance of phase matching between surface plasmons generated at the nanoslit and the gratings is also investigated in order to optimize the local field intensity in the nanoslit.
