We present results of numerical simulations for structures comprised of metallo-dielectric layers in which the metal layers are perforated with non-diffracting arrays of subwavelength holes, structures that are similar to the 'fishnet' structures being studied as electromagnetic metamaterials. We find for visible frequencies that such structures exhibit a stop-band in transmittance across a broad frequency range, which arises through interactions between two distinctly different types of resonant mode. Using numerical (finite element) modelling to characterise the optical response, we identify strong coupling between Fabry-Perot resonant cavity modes within the multilayer structure and localised surface-plasmon resonances associated with the nanoholes. Our simulations show that the spectral position and width of the stop-band that occurs within the visible frequency range can be tuned by varying both the cavity spacing and the geometry of the nanohole array.
