Viewpoint Airy plasmons defeat diffraction on the surface
Surface plasmons (SPs), or more exactly, surface plasmon polaritons, are surface electromagnetic waves that propagate along the planar interface between a metal and a dielectric material [1] (see Fig. 1). These particular electromagnetic modes are sustained by the collective electronic oscillations (plasma waves) in the metal in proximity to the interface. Plasmons are essentially two-dimension...
متن کاملVoigt Airy surface magneto plasmons.
We present a basic theory on Airy surface magneto plasmons (SMPs) at the interface between a dielectric layer and a metal layer (or a doped semiconductor layer) under an external static magnetic field in the Voigt configuration. It is shown that, in the paraxial approximation, the Airy SMPs can propagate along the surface without violating the nondiffracting characteristics, while the ballistic...
متن کاملGeneration and near-field imaging of Airy surface plasmons.
We demonstrate experimentally the generation and near-field imaging of nondiffracting surface waves, plasmonic Airy beams, propagating on the surface of a gold metal film. The Airy plasmons are excited by an engineered nanoscale phase grating, and demonstrate significant beam bending over their propagation. We show that the observed Airy plasmons exhibit self-healing properties, suggesting nove...
متن کاملOn the Wiener–Hopf Method for Surface Plasmons: Diffraction from Semiinfinite Metamaterial Sheet
By formally invoking the Wiener–Hopf method, we explicitly solve a one-dimensional, singular integral equation for the excitation of a slowly decaying electromagnetic wave, called surface plasmon-polariton (SPP), of small wavelength on a semiinfinite, flat conducting sheet irradiated by a plane wave in two spatial dimensions. This setting is germane to wave diffraction by edges of large sheets ...
متن کاملSurface effects on bulk plasmons.
We discuss the effects of surfaces on bulk plasma oscillations in a metallic film of thickness L. The leading corrections to the plasma frequencies due to the surfaces are proportional to L−1. The frequencies of low-lying long wavelength modes are given by the dispersion relation of bulk modes, ω = ωp[1 + α(q 2/k2 F )], where the allowed q-values are q(n) = (nπ/L), L ≡ L− 2db, and db is a compl...
