20. It was not possible to assign the ±(1,0) Au/air SPP-Bloch modes, which for all AAA periods are ∼50 nm to the blue of the ±(1,1) Au/quartz modes. Because the FWHM for the transmission peaks is 150 nm, it may be that both modes contribute to the transmission in Fig..
21. λSPP (i,j) = Px Py / (Px2 i2 + Py2 j2) 1/2 [εd εm / (εd + εm)] 1/2 is the analogous expression for SPP-Bloch modes when the period is unique along the x-and y -axes. Px and Py denote the periods along the x-and y -axes.
