Excitation of Multipole Plasmons by Optical Vortex Beams
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has been shown to exhibit a strong potential for nanoscale electromagnetic field manipulation beyond the diffraction limit. Particularly dark mode plasmons circumvent radiation loss and store the energy long in time, which raise the prospect of interesting plasmonics applications, for example biochemical sensing and nanoscale lasing. Here we theoretica...
متن کاملNonlocal effects in the plasmons of nanowires and nanocavities excited by fast electron beams
The solutions of surface modes in cylindrical metallic wires and cavities are obtained within a nonlocal dielectric formalism. We compare the results with those obtained from standard local approaches. The specular reflection model is applied to describe the nonlocal potentials in the vicinity of the wires and cavities. The external probe exciting the surface plasmons are fast electron beams tr...
متن کاملExcitation of surface plasmons in a single silver nanowire using higher-order-mode light
Excitation of surface plasmons in a single silver nanowire using higher-order-mode light shows that nanowire waveguide has no request on the spatial mode of the input light, which is determined by its orbital angular momentums (OAM) in the experiment. The excitation efficiency can be controlled by adjusting the light polarization. Experimental result also indicates that the propagating modes of...

متن کاملElectrical 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...
