Popis: The light transmission through metallic films with different types of nano-structures was studied both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the positions of the surface plasmon resonances depend on nano-structural details. Those can be changed from sample to sample or in given sample by applying an external dc electric or magnetic field. The dependence of transmission spectrum on the shape of holes (inclusions) and external fields can be used for manipulation of the light transmission, as well as the polarization of the transmitted light and other optical properties, by external field. Two complementary situations are considered: a metal film with dielectric holes and a dielectric film with metallic islands. A new analytical asymptotic approach for calculation of the optical properties of such plasmonic systems is developed.
