Extracting coherent modes from partially coherent wavefields.
A method for numerically recovering the coherent modes and their occupancies from a known mutual optical intensity function is described. As an example, the technique is applied to previously published experimental data from an x-ray undulator source. The data are found to be described by three coherent modes, and the functional forms and relative occupancies of these modes are recovered.
متن کاملTerahertz plasmon and surface-plasmon modes in hollow nanospheres
: We present a theoretical study of the electronic subband structure and collective electronic excitation associated with plasmon and surface plasmon modes in metal-based hollow nanosphere. The dependence of the electronic subband energy on the sample parameters of the hollow nanosphere is examined. We find that the subband states with different quantum numbers l degenerate roughly when the out...
متن کاملUniversal Scaling of Surface Plasmon Modes
Plasmons are collective electron oscillations, preferentially excitable in metals and can be seen as propagating density waves of conduction electrons. They are whether of bulk type and propagate within the material (“3D plasmon”), or along the metal’s surface (2D or surface plasmon). In nanooptics surface plasmons are of special interest, because they can be excited optically (generated at opt...
متن کاملSurface plasmon modes and the Casimir energy.
We show the influence of surface plasmons on the Casimir effect between two plane parallel metallic mirrors at arbitrary distances. Using the plasma model to describe the optical response of the metal, we express the Casimir energy as a sum of contributions associated with evanescent surface plasmon modes and propagative cavity modes. In contrast to naive expectations, the plasmonic mode contri...
متن کاملSilver superlens using antisymmetric surface plasmon modes.
Silver lenses having super-resolution are analyzed in terms of antisymmetric modes of surface plasmon which have the ability to amplify evanescent waves in UV region. Antisymmetric surface plasmon modes excited by subwavelength grating enhances the resolution and contrast of silver superlens. By using a 20 nm-thick silver superlens, the half-pitch resolution of approximately lambda(0)/8 can be ...
