Abstract:
The propagation of transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) polarized light in two-dimensional silver-nanorod arrays of various radii and concentration in dielectric structures is studied. Accurate numerical results are compared with results estimated by a nonlocal model of the homogeneous environment for periodic arrays of rods with negative dielectric permittivity. Strong influence of multipole light scattering is shown that can’t be regarded as relevant for the considered model.

Key words:
dielectric cylinder, silver-nanorod arrays, negative dielectric permittivity, multipole light scattering.
