The role of short and long range surface plasmons for plasmonic focusing applications.
We propose and analyze a new plasmonic lens allowing the simultaneous focusing of both short and long range surface plasmons polaritons. The considered geometry is circularly symmetric and the SPP excitation is radially polarized. The long range and the short range modes are compared and found to have very different focusing properties. The trade-offs between the modes are discussed. The interp...
متن کاملLong-Range Plasmon-Assisted Energy Transfer between Fluorescent Emitters.
We demonstrate plasmon-assisted energy transfer between fluorophores located at distances up to 7 μm on the top of a thin silver film. Thanks to the strong confinement and large propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons, the range of the energy transfer is almost 2 orders of magnitude larger than the values reported in the literature so far. The parameters driving the energy transfer ra...
متن کاملLasing action assisted by long-range surface plasmons
LTTER A R TCLE Abstract It is shown that lasing action at subwavelength scales can be achieved in realistic plasmonic systems supporting long-range surface plasmons (LRSPPs). To this end, a general numerical framework has been developed that is able to accurately account for the full spatio-temporal lasing dynamics and the vastly different lengthand time-scales featured by this class of systems...
متن کاملFocusing surface plasmons with a plasmonic lens.
We report the focusing of surface plasmon polaritons by circular and elliptical structures milled into optically thick metallic films or plasmonic lenses. Both theoretical and experimental data for the electromagnetic nearfield is presented. The nearfield is mapped experimentally using nearfield scanning optical microscopy and plasmonic lithography. We find that the intensity at the focal point...
متن کاملLong-range energy transfer in proteins.
Proteins are large and complex molecular machines. In order to perform their function, most of them need energy, e.g. either in the form of a photon, as in the case of the visual pigment rhodopsin, or through the breaking of a chemical bond, as in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Such energy, in turn, has to be transmitted to specific locations, often several tens of A away from wh...
