Resumen: In a two-dimensional array of rectangular holes perforated on a metallic film, two mechanisms leading to enhanced transmission of light operate: excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and localized resonances that are also present in single holes. In this paper, we analyze theoretically how the two mechanisms evolve and mix when the period of the array is varied. We also demonstrate that absorption in the metal is the main limiting factor for the SPP-based enhanced transmission.
