Effect of an optically thick substrate on the layer and grating response. (a) Illustration of the analyzed geometry. (image created in Adobe Illustrator v25.0.1, https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html). (b) Transmittance versus sheet conductivity for a dispersion-free conductive layer suspended in free-space (dashed black curve) and on top of a semi-infinite substrate with relative permittivity εr = 10 (continuous green curve). Presence of a substrate shifts the characteristic curve towards higher conductivity levels. (c) Colormap of transmittance versus frequency and stripe width, W; S was fixed to S = 2 µm in the absence of a conductive layer, i.e., σs = 0. Presence of a substrate redshifts the resonances with respect to the situation simulated in Fig. 3a.
