Polychromatic nanofocusing of surface plasmon polaritons
The field of plasmonics experiences an explosive growth recently due to the ability of plasmonic components to confine light down to the nanoscale. Various plasmonic structures with miniaturization scales comparable to those of modern semiconductor electronics have been designed to realize different types of light waveguiding and control.1–7 Despite the boom in research one can identify two maj...
متن کاملNanofocusing with channel plasmon polaritons.
We investigate radiation nanofocusing with channel plasmon polaritons (CPPs) propagating along subwavelength metal grooves that are tapered synchronously in depth and in width. Efficient CPP nanofocusing at telecom wavelengths with the estimated field intensity enhancement of up to approximately 90 is directly demonstrated using near-field microscopy. Experimental observations are concurred wit...
متن کاملChiral surface plasmon polaritons on metallic nanowires.
Chiral surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be generated by linearly polarized light incident at the end of a nanowire, exciting a coherent superposition of three specific nanowire waveguide modes. Images of chiral SPPs on individual nanowires obtained from quantum dot fluorescence excited by the SPP evanescent field reveal the chirality predicted in our theoretical model. The handedness and s...
متن کاملHarmonics Generation by Surface Plasmon Polaritons on Single Nanowires
We present experimental observations of visible wavelength second- and third-harmonic generation on single plasmonic nanowires of variable widths. We identify that near-infrared surface plasmon polaritons, which are guided along the nanowire, act as the source of the harmonics generation. We discuss the underlying mechanism of this nonlinear process, using a combination of spatially resolved me...
متن کاملResonant tunneling of surface plasmon-polaritons.
The tunneling of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) across an interruption in the metallic film supporting them is numerically investigated in details. Both non-symmetrical and symmetrical geometries are considered. A very high tunneling efficiency is calculated for the long-range surface plasmon in the symmetrical geometry, with an amplitude transmission as high as 80% over a 5 microm gap for a...
