López-Ríos<br/>It is theoretically shown that nanometric silver lamellar gratings present very strong visible light absorption inside the grooves, leading to electric field enhancement of several orders of magnitude. It is due to the excitation of quasistatic surface plasmon polaritons with particular small penet...<br/>[Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 066408] Published Fri Feb 15, 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 066408 J.
