Abstract

We report on high-accuracy angle-resolved optical transmission measurements through anisotropic 2D plasmonic crystals made of gold films with large-area rectangular arrays of nanoscale square holes, deposited on GaAs substrates. The measurements reveal the dispersion relations of air–gold and gold–GaAs surface plasmon polaritons. The crystal anisotropy induces a separation between plasmonic modes propagating in different directions. Their symmetry and dispersion properties are discussed.
