الوصف: We report on a combined far- and near-field study of surface plasmon polaritons on freestanding perforated gold films. The samples are fabricated by focused ion beam milling of {a periodic hole array into} a carbon membrane followed by thermal evaporation of gold and plasma ashing of the carbon film. Optical transmission spectra show a series of characteristic features, which can be attributed to the excitation of surface plasmon modes via the periodic nanohole array. The corresponding near-field distributions are mapped by electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Besides the optically bright surface plasmon modes, we observe in the near-field an additional dark plasmon mode, which is absent in the normal incidence far-field spectra. Our experimental results are in good agreement with numerical computations based on a discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method.
