29. Note that interference pulsing of the transmittance can be related only to the imaginary part of permittivity if the real part is negative (Ref.). Since the thickness and tangent of losses of the silver film are small we do not observe in the investigated frequency range any influence of transmittance interference.

33. From percolation theory it is well known that in a random system a cluster contains on average 2-3 particles (Ref.). The diameter of a triple-hole cluster is a3 =a(1+2/3)2.1547. Supposing that all the holes are concentrated in triple-hole clusters we arrive at the following upper estimation of the magnetic current jM = M ∼ c (k a3) n3 a32 Hi where n3 is the density of triple-hole cluster with n3 a32 =α~0.1. Thus, at a fixed relative area occupied with holes the magnetic current increases linearly with the diameter of a hole whereas the transmittance coefficient does it quadratic. The clusterization of the holes may increase the transmittance coefficient by a factor of 4.6 and cannot explain the experimental results. Computer simulation of transmittance trough a perfectly conducting screen with a single hole and with three-holes cluster shows in the latter case a fourfold rise of the transmittance in agreement with our analytical estimation.

35. At a normal incidence impedance is Z TE -1 =i |ε|, which provides the impedance contrast and causes reflection.
36. At |ε|>>1 from the condition of surface-plasmon excitation kt2 - k02 = kt2 +|ε| k02 / |ε| one can derive kt k0 (1+ 1/ 2ε). In Fig. 7 the plasmon resonance is revealed as a peak of TM-polarized inhomogeneous wave transmission.
