[摘要]:Ellipsometry and infrared polarized reflection spectroscopy at oblique incidence of golden split-ring resonatorswere simulated and discussed. The ellipsometric spectra were related to the reflection spectra for the two polarization of the incident wave, s-and p-, with electric field being normal and parallel to the plane of incidence, respectively. Near-field and bulk current distribution at the resonances proved that they correspond to the multiple plasmonic modes of the split-ring resonators. The calculated magnetic moment showed that at oblique incidence both magnetic and electric field induce the magnetic resonances. (C) 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
