Self-phase-modulation of surface plasmon polaritons
We present an approach for calculating the nonlinear propagation of surface plasmon polaritons in onedimensional planar waveguides consisting of a metal slab or a semi-infinite metal bounded by linear dielectrics, starting with an assumed third-order nonlinearity that characterizes the nonlinear response of the metal. With this approach we model the self-phase-modulation of surface plasmon pola...
متن کاملLaser-fabricated dielectric optical components for surface plasmon polaritons.
Fabrication of dielectric optical components for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) by two-photon polymerization (2PP) is studied. This direct-write femtosecond laser technology provides a low-cost and flexible method for the fabrication and investigation of plasmonic structures and optical components. Using the 2PP technique, we fabricated narrow dielectric ridges with dimensions as small as 15...
متن کاملManipulation of surface plasmon polaritons by phase modulation of incident light.
Manipulation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) by phase modulation of incident light beams is proposed with analytical and numerical verifications when an optical vortex (OV) beam is employed as an example. Fundamental functionalities of a plasmonic chip such as in-plane focusing, coupling and multiplexing of SPP by sequentially varying the topological charge of OV beam are demonstrated. Comp...
متن کاملStrong amplitude and phase modulation of optical spatial coherence with surface plasmon polaritons
The degree of optical spatial coherence-a fundamental property of light that describes the mutual correlations between fluctuating electromagnetic fields-has been proven challenging to control at the micrometer scale. We use surface plasmon polaritons-evanescent waves excited on both surfaces of a thin metal film-as a means to mix the random fluctuations of the incident electromagnetic fields a...
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...
