Fabrication and characterization of plasmonic band-stop filter using Ag grating

This study proposes a plasmonic band-stop filter with surface plasmon resonance in a doublelayer wire grid structure targeting short-wavelength visible and near-ultraviolet regions for applications in ultraviolet photography. Using Ag and Al, the rigorous coupling wave of analysis method revealed that the maximum absorption was approximately 90% at 450 nm and 375 nm. The experiments using Ag produced similar results in a simulation. These results demonstrate that plasmonic band-stop filters in the visible and near-UV region can be realized at 450 nm and 375 nm using Ag or Al
