Abstract

A sinusoidally weakly undulated continuous thin gold film embedded between a polymer substrate and a thin cover of the same polymer, the metal film thickness, the period and the wavelength being such that a normally incident wave excites the long range plasmon mode of the metal film, is shown to exhibit strong resonant transmission for the local TM polarization and strong reflection of the TE polarization. Such structure represents a very simple, average performance polarization beam splitter for white light processing.
