Electrical excitation of surface plasmons.
We exploit a plasmon mediated two-step momentum down-conversion scheme to convert low-energy tunneling electrons into propagating photons. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along an extended gold nanowire are excited on one end by low-energy electron tunneling and are then converted to free-propagating photons at the other end. The separation of excitation and outcoupling proves tha...
متن کاملElectrical characterization of radio frequency discharges
Two electrical techniques that are frequently used to characterize radio frequency plasmas are described: current–voltage probes for plasma power input and compensated Langmuir probes for electron energy probability functions and other parameters. The following examples of the use of these techniques, sometimes in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, are presented: plasma source standardi...
متن کاملQuantum dot infrared photodetector enhanced by surface plasma wave excitation.
Up to a thirty-fold detectivity enhancement is achieved for an InAs quantum dot infrared photodetector (QDIP) by the excitation of surface plasma waves (SPWs) using a metal photonic crystal (MPC) integrated on top of the detector absorption region. The MPC is a 100 nm-thick gold film perforated with a 3.6 microm period square array of circular holes. A bare QDIP shows a bias-tunable broadband r...
متن کاملQuantization of Non-Radiative Surface Plasma Oscillations
Non-radiative surface plasma oscillations in a semi-infinite metal are quantized by using a hydrodynamic jellium model for electrons in the metal. In consequence of the quantization, the electronSF (surface plasmon) vertex function is obtained for the overall region of the surface plasmon wave vector k. In the electrostatic limit, it coincides with the usual electrostatic vertex function obtain...
متن کاملA Radio-frequency Measurement System for Metallic Object Detection Using Pulse Modulation Excitation
Guns and knives have imposed a significant threat to public safety. Based on the electromagnetic characteristics of the materials of guns and knives’, techniques concerning Electromagnetics (EM) e.g. walk-through metal detection equipment and X-ray and THz screening system have been used in an effort to detect and characterise them. Different EM frequencies for metallic object detection have de...
