Coupling of evanescent s-polarized waves to the far field by waveguide modes in metallic arrays

In this paper we show that enhanced optical transmission through a 1D periodic slit array comprising real metallic cylinders is possible for s-polarization when the array is near a dielectric interface. We investigate the behaviour of this structure under s-polarized illumination, in which case surf...
