Enhanced light absorption of nanorods with confined electric field in the surrounding gap was observed. To identify the rationale of this finding, we studied their three-dimensional graphical profile and then realized that 1) modal resonance is developed with absorption gain in the UV region and 2) reflection at the interface with substrate leads to a subtle increase of absorption of visible light. By solving the eigenvalue equation, we also confirmed that TM11 mode of leaky-mode resonance is responsible for the observed modal absorption of UV light. © 2022, Korean Vacuum Society.
