Abstract
The transmission property of microwave through a kind of metamaterial is investigated experimentally. Such metamaterials are fabricated with a structure of double sets of square holes: subwavelength ones, and small ones whose sizes and spacing are smaller at least one order of magnitude than those of the subwavelength holes. The experimental results show that the peak power of the measured transmission spectra is dependent on the structure parameters of the small holes. The physical origin to create this phenomenon is that the designer surface plasmons sustained by the small holes affect on the transmission property of the microwave passing through the subwavelength holes. The results are promising for proposing some techniques for optoelectronic devices in terahertz and microwave regime.
