15. The dielectric constant values of silver are assumed to be - 12+i0.9 at 575 nm and - 4 + i0.7 at 400 nm wavelength, and the dielectric constant of quartz to be 2.16. See, for example, Palik, Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids (Academic, New York, 1998).
16. In this calculation, we assumed the dielectric constant of Ag to be - 29 + i1.7 and neglected the plasmon coupling between metal islands.
