We investigate the transmission characteristics of a one-dimensional metallic grating covered by a reduced cytochrome (Cyt) c molecule layer by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. It is found that the introduction of reduced Cyt c molecule layer leads to a transmission dip due to the plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET) from metallic grating to Cyt c molecules. The transmission dip depth can be controlled by the period of metallic grating, the width and length of slit, and the Cyt c molecule layer number, while the transm...
