Plasmonic nanofocusing of light in an integrated silicon photonics platform.
The capability to focus electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale plays an important role in nanoscinece and nanotechnology. It allows enhancing light matter interactions at the nanoscale with applications related to nonlinear optics, light emission and light detection. It may also be used for enhancing resolution in microscopy, lithography and optical storage systems. Hereby we propose and exper...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Plasmonic Micro Projector for Light Manipulation
photovoltaics, [ 5 ] super-resolution imaging, [ 6 ] and various twodimensional plasmonic lens. [ 7 ] Besides, using nanostructures to project SPP plane waves into the adjacent free space is also an important issue. The interactions of plasmonic nanostructure on SPP wave involve not only the in-plane behavior, but also out-of-plane scattering which is captured as the far-fi eld radiated light. ...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Plasmonic Nanoclusters
A universal characteristic of these structures is their exquisite correlation between structural geometry and optical properties, which has provided new approaches to the control and manipulation of light, particularly in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum.[1],[2] This has made it possible to engineer electric and magnetic responses over this wavelength range, enabling the co...
متن کاملPlasmonic 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 کاملNanofocusing in laterally tapered plasmonic waveguides.
We investigate the focusing of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited with 1.5 microm light in a tapered Au waveguide on a planar dielectric substrate by experiments and simulations. We find that nanofocusing can be obtained when the asymmetric bound mode at the substrate side of the metal film is excited. The propagation and concentration of this mode to the tip is demonstrated. No sign of ...
