Theory of surface plasmons and surface-plasmon polaritons
Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus on a theoretical description of the many-body dynamical electronic response of solids, which underlines the existence of various collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces, such as the conventional surf...
متن کاملResonant tunneling of surface plasmon-polaritons.
The tunneling of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) across an interruption in the metallic film supporting them is numerically investigated in details. Both non-symmetrical and symmetrical geometries are considered. A very high tunneling efficiency is calculated for the long-range surface plasmon in the symmetrical geometry, with an amplitude transmission as high as 80% over a 5 microm gap for a...
متن کاملDirect imaging of localized surface plasmon polaritons.
In this Letter, we report on dark field imaging of localized surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in plasmonic waveguiding bands formed by plasmonic coupled cavities. We image the light scattered from SPPs in the plasmonic cavities excited by a tunable light source. Tuning the excitation wavelength, we measure the localization and dispersion of the plasmonic cavity mode. Dark field imaging has bee...
متن کاملSelf-focusing of femtosecond surface plasmon polaritons.
We study the propagation of femtosecond pulses in nonlinear metal-dielectric plasmonic waveguiding structures by employing the finite-difference time-domain numerical method. Self-focusing of plasmon pulses is observed for defocusing Kerr-like nonlinearity of the dielectric medium due to normal dispersion. We compare the nonlinear propagation of plasmon pulses along a single metal-dielectric in...
متن کاملPolychromatic nanofocusing of surface plasmon polaritons
The field of plasmonics experiences an explosive growth recently due to the ability of plasmonic components to confine light down to the nanoscale. Various plasmonic structures with miniaturization scales comparable to those of modern semiconductor electronics have been designed to realize different types of light waveguiding and control.1–7 Despite the boom in research one can identify two maj...
