Spectral resonance of nanoscale bowtie apertures in visible wavelength
نویسنده
چکیده
We report spectroscopic measurements of transmitted field through bowtie-shaped nanoscale apertures in visible wavelength region. Resonance in these apertures and its relation with the aperture geometry are investigated. The near-field spectral response is also investigated using finite difference time domain (FDTD) computation and compared with the spectroscopic measurements. The dependences of the peak wavelength and peak amplitude on the geometry of the bowtie aperture are illustrated. Design rules are proposed to optimize the bowtie aperture for producing a sub-wavelength, high transmission field. PACS 81.07.-b; 07.79.Fc; 71.36.+c; 78.66Bz; 42.79.Gn; 42.79.Vb

متن کاملPlasmonic Multibowtie Aperture Antenna with Fano Resonance for Nanoscale Spectral Sorting
In this work we report a new type of nanostructure, the plasmonic multibowtie aperture antenna with Fano resonance for spectral sorting at the nanoscale. Redistribution of surface current in our device plays a critical role in mode coupling to generate Fano resonance, which has never been carefully discussed before. Numerical analyses show that interactions of the electric field, the surface cu...
متن کاملNanolithography using high transmission nanoscale bowtie apertures.
We demonstrate that bowtie apertures can be used for contact lithography to achieve nanometer scale resolution. The bowtie apertures with a 30 nm gap size are fabricated in aluminum thin films coated on quartz substrates. Lithography results show that holes of sub-50-nm dimensions can be produced in photoresist by illuminating the apertures with a 355 nm laser beam polarized in the direction ac...
متن کاملNanopatterning using NSOM probes integrated with high transmission nanoscale bowtie aperture.
Nanoscale ridge aperture antennas have been shown to have high transmission efficiency and confined nanoscale radiation in the near field region compared with regularly-shaped apertures. The radiation enhancement is attributed to the fundamental electric-magnetic field propagating in the TE(10) mode concentrated in the gap between the ridges. This paper reports experimental demonstration of fie...
