| Surface plasmon resonance is a charge-density oscillation that may exist at the interfacebetween a metal and a dielectric. The properties of surface plasmon resonance are affected bymany factors, such as the spatial structure of the metal. The surface plasma resonancepropagating at the interface between a semi-infinite dielectric and metal is called surfaceplasmon polarization (SPP), while the surface plasma resonance supported by metal particlesis called localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). In the metal films perforated with holearrays, there are surface plasmon polarization (SPP) and localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR) simultaneously, and the phenomenon of extraordinary optical transmission(EOT) is observed in it. However, at present the origin of the phenomenon of extraordinaryoptical transmission (EOT) is not fully understood as the properties of surface plasmonresonance in the metal hole arrays are intricate, and the properties of surface plasmonresonance in the metal hole arrays are not fully understood. At the same time metal holearrays present many potential applications such as in the biosensors, and exploring thepotential applications of metal hole arrays is a research direction. In this paper, the propertiesof surface plasmon resonance in the silver films perforated with nanohole arrays areinvestigated using the finite-difference time-domain technique (FDTD), and we focuses onthe investigation of the properties of surface plasmon resonance in the monolayer andbilayer silver rectangular nanohole arrays and the potential applications based on them. It isone of the main research directions to further improve the conversion efficiency of solarenergy based on surface plasmon resonance supported by metallic nanostructures in the solarcells.
