Efficient unidirectional ridge excitation of surface plasmons.
Using leakage-radiation microscopy, we characterize the efficiency of unidirectional surface-plasmon excitation with periodic (800 nm) arrays of 130-nm-high and 330-nm-wide gold ridges on a thin gold film illuminated with a focused (5-microm-wide) laser beam. We demonstrate that, at the resonant wavelength of 816 nm, the excitation efficiency of > 0.4 can be obtained with >or= 5 ridges by adjus...
متن کاملGeneration of surface plasmons at single subwavelength slits: from slit to ridge plasmon
Understanding how surface plasmons can be launched by single subwavelength structures is crucial for the development of surface plasmonbased devices within highly integrated photonic circuits. In this paper, we study the coupling efficiency of light to surface plasmons for single slits milled in a thin metal film by analyzing the far-field optical images recorded in the Fourier plane of a leaka...
متن کاملFree Riding
We use a unique dataset that combines the responses from an original survey of households, information about the structural characteristics of their homes, utility-provided longitudinal electricity usage records, plus utility program participation information, to study the uptake of energy efficiency incentives and their effect on residential electricity consumption. Attention is restricted to ...
متن کاملEpistemic Free Riding
In epistemology and philosophy of science there has been a growing interest in group inquiry and ways that it might differ fundamentally from individual inquiry. The interest in this topic is understandable. Science is predominately collaborative work. If we want to understand the epistemic success of science, we need to understand group inquiry and it is an important part of this to learn whet...
متن کاملNondiffracting Bessel plasmons.
We report on the existence of nondiffracting Bessel surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), advancing at either superluminal or subluminal phase velocities. These wave fields feature deep subwavelength FWHM, but are supported by high-order homogeneous SPPs of a metal/dielectric (MD) superlattice. The beam axis can be relocated to any MD interface, by interfering multiple converging SPPs with control...
