  ABSTRACT: The optical response of subwavelength silver nanowires arranged periodically on silica has been analyzed numerically by the differential method improved by the S matrix algorithm. Our results improve the capacity of this rigorous method to give a description of various phenomena occurring in near and far field around the periodic grating. This renders pos- sible to determine the positions of plasmon’s resonance according to the choice of materials used and the geometrical properties. We study the behavior of the diffracted light by the nano-structure in both single nanowire case and grating nanowires case. The influence of the exact grating period and the induced modification of the spacer nanowire depend- ence are then discussed. Moreover, we present mappings of the electromagnetic field located at 50 nm above the nanowires.
