Two-dimensional Ag/SiO2 nanocomposite gratings of 400 and 600nm in grating constant are fabricated by etching the SiO2 slabs implanted with Ag ions, and their plasmonic extinction, absorption, and reflection behaviors are investigated. Our results indicate that no scattering light fields can exist near the localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance wavelength (about 405nm) of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) due to the intense LSP resonance absorption. Especially, when the gaps between nanocomposite veins have a width close in value to the LSP resonance wavelength of Ag NPs, the local light fields in the grating plane can be slightly enhanced due to an in-phase addition of the incident light fields and the diffractive light fields induced by the gap diffraction, leading to a slight red shift of LSP resonance mode of Ag NPs. Moreover, in the LSP resonance absorption region, although the grating diffraction can still occur, the diffractive light fields are extremely weak, and thus, the local light fields in the grating plane cannot be modified by coherently adding these extremely weak diffractive light fields to the incident light fields. As a result, the LSP resonance mode of Ag NPs will keep its position unchanged even though the grating constant is set to make the first grating order rightly change from evanescent to radiative character.
