Plasmonic nanofocusing using a metal-coated axicon prism.
We propose an excitation method for the localization of photons at the apex of a metal coated axicon prism. The cone angle of the prism and the metallic film thickness are designed to match the excitation conditions for surface plasmons. The plasmons propagate along the sides of the prism and converge at its apex. The resulting nanofocusing was investigated by simulating the intensity distribut...
متن کاملOptimized nonadiabatic nanofocusing of plasmons by tapered metal rods
Using rigorous numerical methods of analysis, this paper investigates nonadiabatic nanofocusing in tapered nanorods with the major emphasis on structural optimization for achieving maximal possible local field enhancement. Simple analytical equations for the determination of the optimal length of the tapered rod are presented and discussed. It is also shown that for the considered structures, o...
متن کاملNanofocusing in a metal-insulator-metal gap plasmon waveguide with a three-dimensional linear taper
The development of techniques for efficiently confining photons on the deep sub-wavelength spatial scale will revolutionize scientific research and engineering practices. The efficient coupling of light into extremely small nanofocusing devices has been a major challenge in on-chip nanophotonics because of the need to overcome various loss mechanisms and the on-chip nanofabrication challenges. ...
متن کاملNanofocusing in a metal - insulator - metal gap plasmon waveguide with a 3 - dimensional linear
An Au-SiO2-Au (metal-insulator-metal; MIM) surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) guide is schematically presented in Fig. S1a. As the name “MIM” implies, a structural symmetry exists with respect to the mirror plane that cuts through the center of the SiO2 layer and is parallel to the x–y plane. As a result, supported SPP modes in the guide can be classified into two major types, each with its own di...
متن کاملThree-dimensional nanofocusing of light through surface plasmon scattering by a lump-like defect in metal/dielectric/metal slot waveguides
We show that scattering of a surface plasmon by lump-like defects on the walls of a metal/dielectric/metal slot waveguide may be accompanied by 3D nanofocusing of light. Such nanofocusing results in the emergence of “hot spots” of nanometer size with a field intensity several orders higher than in the incident plasmon. This effect takes place only if the lump size is smaller than some critical ...
