The optical properties of the sandwich structures of Ag nanorod array (NRA)/dielectric layer/Ag mirror have
been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Calculations based on a simple model by treating the NRAs
as uniform effective media indicate that the antireflection condition is realized by changing the thickness of
the dielectric layer and that the Ag nanorods absorb most of the incident light. The designed structures have
been successfully fabricated by taking advantages of the dynamic oblique-angle deposition technique. Under the
experimental antireflection condition, Raman scattering measured on the Ag NRA in the near infrared region
exhibits significant enhancement. This indicates that the local electric field close to the Ag nanorods can be
controlled by the interference of light in the nanostrutured sandwiches.
