Abstract

We analyze the transmission of sound through a sound hard film or layer with periodic subwavelength slits. For wavelength comparable to or larger than the slit spacing, the transmission spectra are revisited in terms of the transmission through an equivalent birefringent layer. It is shown that the Fano-type resonances can be understood by means of the dispersion relations of guided waves within the birefringent layer in the homogenized problem, equivalent to spoof plasmons for gratings. This is done by extending the homogenization to the evanescent waves being excited in the near field of the actual perforated layer.
