Abstract
Polarization-selected IR transmission, IR reflection, and IR absorption spectra of arrays of V-shaped gold structures are experimentally studied for various structure periods. To form a local region of the enhanced electromagnetic field in subwavelength nanogaps, arrays with unit cells consisting of two V-shaped structures, facing each other by acute angles with gaps of 0, 50, 100 nm were also used. The results of comparison of spectral data with measurements of dimensional parameters using atomic-force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are presented. The possibility of using the fabricated structures to achieve the effect of surface-enhanced IR absorption by quantum dots is shown.
