Abstract
Asymmetric transmission (AT) has significant applications in optical polarization control. In this paper, we propose a kind of periodic nanoslit rather than the protruding planar structures, such as G-shaped structure and coupled split-ring resonators, to realize the AT effect. The planar periodic obliquely intersecting nanoslits (OINs) in the gold film, composed of gratings with an infinite length and tilted nanoslits with a finite length, are proposed to realize the AT effect by performing the finite element method. Obvious dips in the AT spectra result from the circular localized surface plasmon resonance around the two terminals of the tilted nanoslits and from the surface plasmon polariton resonances on the film and in the gratings or tilted nanoslits. In addition, the AT effect strongly depends on the geometric parameters of the OINs. The film can be straightly powered on as an in-plane electrical conductor, which broadens its applications in optoelectronic devices. Overall, these results are beneficial in designing devices to achieve AT for polarization transformation.
