Observing Optical Plasmons on a Single Nanometer Scale
The exceptional capability of plasmonic structures to confine light into deep subwavelength volumes has fashioned rapid expansion of interest from both fundamental and applicative perspectives. Surface plasmon nanophotonics enables to investigate light-matter interaction in deep nanoscale and harness electromagnetic and quantum properties of materials, thus opening pathways for tremendous poten...
متن کاملNanometer-Scale Patterning on PMMA Resist by Force Microscopy Lithography
Nanoscale science and technology has today mainly focused on the fabrication of nano devices. In this paper, we study the use of lithography process to build the desired nanostructures directly. Nanolithography on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) surface is carried out by using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) equipped with silicon tip, in contact mode. The analysis of the results shows that the ...
متن کاملCompressing surface plasmons for nano-scale optical focusing.
A major challenge in optics is how to deliver and concentrate light from the micron-scale into the nano-scale. Light can not be guided, by conventional mechanisms, with optical beam sizes significantly smaller than its wavelength due to the diffraction limit. On the other hand, focusing of light into very small volumes beyond the diffraction limit can be achieved by exploiting the wavelength sc...
متن کاملOptical intensity mapping on the nanometer scale by near-field photodetection optical microscopy.
Near-field photodetection optical microscopy (NPOM) is a fundamentally new approach to near-field optical microscopy. This scanning-probe technique uses a nanometer-scale photodiode detector as a near-field optical probe. We have fabricated probes for NPOM that have optically sensitive areas as small as 100 nm x 100 nm. These new NPOM probes have been employed to image light transmitted through...
متن کاملNanometer-scale optical traps using atomic state localization
Over the last two decades, far-off-resonant optical dipole traps have evolved into one of the most widely used tools in trapping and manipulating ultracold neutral atoms 1,2 . By using a sufficiently large detuning from the excited electronic state, these traps can be made nearly dissipation free with photon-scattering rates as low as 1 Hz and with trap depths easily exceeding tens of millikelv...
