Ja. Sanchez-gil et al., Influence of nanoscale cutoff in random self-affine fractal silver surfaces on the excitation of localized optical modes, OPTICS LETT, 26(16), 2001, pp. 1286-1288
We report rigorous numerical calculations of the near field scattered from
rough, one-dimensional self-affine fractal silver surfaces. We show that fr
actal lower-scale cutoff (decreased to the order of tens of nanometers) has
a strong effect on excitation and strength of localized optical modes, lea
ding to very large enhancements of the intensity (larger than 10(4)) and fl
uctuations of the electric field. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
