Anomalous blueshift of aperture resonance enabled by the loss of a thin film

Abstract The substrate effects on aperture resonance have been widely studied because the resonance peak position is key for sensing, communications, and field enhancement applications. So far, the theoretical works have focused on the lossless infinite substrate case, which only explains the resona...
