We demonstrate that Ag-Si photodiodes allow photocurrents to be modulated by changing periods of nanopatterns on Ag film. The maximum and minimum photocurrents occur in certain periods corresponding to the excitation of surface plasmon polariton and Wood's anomaly, which can be predicted with the help of related theories. Therefore, it is feasible to design nanopatterns to satisfy special requirements.
