Enhancing the Scattering Induced by Gold Periodic Arrays Over Optical Waveguides Through Indium Tin Oxide Buffer Layers by Rita Asquini, Alessio Buzzin, Nicolas Hanine, Alessia Mannetta, Badrul Alam, Vincenzo Ferrara

“…Coupling efficiency, out-of-plane scattering and far-field projected beam focus and diffraction angle are evaluated using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method and scattering theory for different nanogratings and nanocylinders array patterns. The implementation of ITO enables up to a 12 fold increase in coupling efficiency, a 6.4 fold enhancement of light scattered out of the array plane and consequent improvements in the diffracted beam radiation intensity peaks, without compromising the beam's focus or altering its deflection angle. …”
