Enhanced transmission via evanescent-to-propagating conversion in metallic nanoslits: Role of Rayleigh anomalies

We analyze the enhanced transmission phenomenon in subwavelength slit structures near a dielectric interface. In particular, we investigate the influence of Rayleigh anomalies in the spectral position as well as in the bandwidth of Fabry-Perot resonances excited on such structures. We consider the c...
