Abstract

Resonant features in the response of finite arrays of rectangular grooves ruled on a metallic plate have been reported in connection with the excitation of phase resonances. These anomalies are generated by a particular arrangement of the magnetic field phases inside the subwavelength grooves when the structure is illuminated by a p-polarized electromagnetic wave. We show that this kind of resonance is also present for grooves of circular cross section and appear as sharp peaks in the specular response, the number of which increases with the number of grooves in the structure. A significant intensification of the field within the grooves is also found for these particular phase configurations. The dependence of the response on the geometrical parameters of the structure is analyzed in detail, in order to consider these structures for potential applications such as frequency selectors and polarizers.
