Abstract

Absorption induced transparency consists in a transmission peak observed in holey metal films when a molecular dye is deposited on top of it [Hutchison et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 50, 2085 (2011)]. This transmission feature appears unexpectedly close to one of the absorption energies of the molecules, hence its name. Tentative explanations pointed to strong-coupling interactions between plasmons and molecules. However, we recently demonstrated the actual mechanism behind, which takes place through a strong modification of the propagation constant of holes. We also found that absorption induced transparency occurs in single holes and it is not restricted to the optical range.
