Near-field and far-field scattering of surface plasmon polaritons by one-dimensional surface defects
A rigorous formulation for the scattering of surface plasmon polaritons ~SPP’s! from a one-dimensional surface defect of any shape that yields the electromagnetic field in the vacuum half-space above the vacuummetal interface is developed by the use of an impedance boundary condition. The electric and magnetic near fields, the angular distribution of the far-field radiation into vacuum due to S...
متن کاملNear-Field Optical Microscopy of Surface Plasmon Polaritons Nano-Optics
Near field optical microscopy techniques can be employed to characterize surface plasmon polaritons phenomena. These studies have set the stage for the current surge in the nano-optics field. In this chapter experiments and numerical developments conducted to the understanding of this area are outlined. Furthemore a scanning near-field microwave microscope is presented as an alternative techniq...
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...
