Abstract

Fabry-Pérot (FP) modes of a dielectric cavity with a planar distribution of metal nanoparticles at one end have been studied numerically. An unusual enhancement in the strength of FP modes is observed close to the strong localized surface plasmon resonance of the metal nanoparticles. Experimental evidence for the numerical results has been provided by studying ZnO thin film cavities with Ag (Au) nanoparticles at one end. The enhancement in FP resonances has been interpreted in terms of a redefined cavity having a strongly dispersive adjacent medium.
