In the framework of the hydrodynamic model describing the response of electrons in a metal, we show that arrays of very narrow and shallow metallic slits have an optical response that is influenced by the spatial dispersion in metals arising from the repulsive interaction between electrons. As a simple Fabry-Perot model is not accurate enough to describe the structure's behavior, we propose to consider the slits as generalized cavities with two modes, one being propagative and the other…

Influence of spatial dispersion on surface plasmons, nanoparticles, and grating couplers
Recent experiments have shown that spatial dispersion may have a conspicuous impact on the response of plasmonic structures. This suggests that in some cases, the Drude model should be replaced by…

Extraordinary optical transmission through nonlocal holey metal films
We investigate nonlocal electrodynamics based on the generalized hydrodynamic approach including electron diffusion in holey gold films, showing extraordinary optical transmission (EOT). Dramatic…
Impact of Nonlocality on Group Delay and Reflective Behavior Near Surface Plasmon Resonances in Otto Structure
TLDR
This work finds that the nonlocal effect is sensitive to the large propagation wavevector, and there exists a critical incident angle and thickness, and the group delay of the reflected light pulse shows opposite behaviors.
Spatial dispersion in metals : numerical developments and feasible experiments ,
We propose a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for solving the frequencydomain nonlocal hydrodynamic Drude (NHD) model, which is one of the most widely adopted nonlocal response models…

Broadened region for robust optical bistability in a nonlocal core and Kerr shell nanoparticle.
TLDR
The self-consistent mean field approximation in the framework of full-wave nonlocal scattering theory is carried out on the optical bistability in a nonlocal nanoparticle coated with a Kerr-type nonlinear shell and the nonlocality-broadened bistable region in the geometrical parameter space is demonstrated.
