Mapping Localized Surface Plasmons within Silver Nanocubes Using Cathodoluminescence Hyperspectral Imaging
Localized surface plasmons within silver nanocubes less than 50 nm in size were investigated using high-resolution cathodoluminescence hyperspectral imaging. Multivariate statistical analysis of the multidimensional luminescence data set allows both the identification of distinct spectral features in the emission and the mapping of their spatial distribution. These results show a 490-nm peak em...
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 کاملSurface plasmons and singularities.
We apply the conformal transformation technique to study systematically a variety of singular plasmonic structures, including two-dimensional sharp edges, rough surfaces, and nanocrescents. These structures are shown to exhibit two distinct features. First, different from a planar metallic surface, the surface plasmon excitations on the examined structures have a lower bound cutoff at a finite ...
متن کاملBouncing surface plasmons.
Employing an interferometric cavity ring-down technique we study the launching, propagation and reflection of surface plasmons on a smooth gold-air interface that is intersected by two parallel, sub-wavelength wide slits. Inside the low-finesse optical cavity defined by these slits the surface plasmon is observed to make multiple bounces. Our experimental data allow us to determine the surface-...
متن کاملElectrical excitation of surface plasmons.
We exploit a plasmon mediated two-step momentum down-conversion scheme to convert low-energy tunneling electrons into propagating photons. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along an extended gold nanowire are excited on one end by low-energy electron tunneling and are then converted to free-propagating photons at the other end. The separation of excitation and outcoupling proves tha...
