Prism coupling to 'designer' surface plasmons.
The excitation of 'designer' surface-plasmon-like modes on periodically perforated metals is demonstrated at microwave frequencies using the classical method of prism-coupling. In addition we provide a complete formalism for accurately determining the dispersion of these surface modes. Our findings fully validate the use of metamaterials to give surface plasmon-like behavior at frequencies belo...
متن کاملDesigner reflectors using spoof surface plasmons in the terahertz range
We show that spoof surface plasmons can be used to control the reflection of terahertz radiation at the output facet of a parallel-plate waveguide. Using a periodic groove pattern on the output face, reflectivity approaching 100% can be achieved within a limited spectral range. Unlike the conventional geometry for plasmon-enhanced transmission, this approach enables a unique method for studying...
متن کاملPerfect coupling of light to surface plasmons by coherent absorption.
We show theoretically that coherent light can be completely absorbed and transferred to surface plasmons in a two- or three-dimensional metallic nanostructure by exciting it with the time-reversed mode of the corresponding surface plasmon laser ("spaser"). The narrow-band perfect absorption is a generalization and application of the concept of critical coupling to a nanocavity with surface plas...

متن کاملCoupling of InGaN quantum-well photoluminescence to silver surface plasmons
The coincidence in excitation energy between surface plasmons on silver and the GaN band gap is exploited to couple the semiconductor spontaneous emission into the metal surface plasmons. A 3-nm InGaN/GaN quantum well ~QW! is positioned 12 nm from an 8-nm silver layer, well within the surface plasmon fringing field depth. A spectrally sharp photoluminescence dip, by a factor '55, indicates that...
