Direct observation of surface plasmon-polariton dispersion.
We describe a method to observe the directional emission of electromagnetic radiation produced by the radiative decay of surface plasmonpolaritons (SPPs) that allows the dispersion of the modes in k-space to be directly visualized. The method presented here opens up the possibility of characterizing the effect of a wide range of surface morphologies on SPP dispersion. As an example we show the ...
متن کاملTerahertz Optoelectronics with Surface Plasmon Polariton Diode
The field of plasmonics has experience a renaissance in recent years by providing a large variety of new physical effects and applications. Surface plasmon polaritons, i.e. the collective electron oscillations at the interface of a metal/semiconductor and a dielectric, may bridge the gap between electronic and photonic devices, provided a fast switching mechanism is identified. Here, we demonst...
متن کاملRemoval of surface plasmon polariton eigenmodes degeneracy
The effect of the tilt angle of metal film on the transmissivity of subwavelength holes in optically thick metal film is investigated. The transmission efficiency is found can be highly dependent on the tilt angle. It is also found that when the input photons are polarized not along the eigenmode directions of surface plasmon polariton, a birefringent phenomenon is observed when the array with ...
متن کاملSurface plasmon polariton microscope with parabolic reflectors.
We report the realization of a two-dimensional optical microscope for surface plasmons polaritons (SPPs) based on parabolic Bragg mirrors. These mirrors are built from lithographically fabricated gold nanostructures on gold thin films. We show by direct imaging by leakage radiation microscopy that the magnification power of the SPP microscope follows basic predictions of geometrical optics. Spa...
متن کاملAdvanced Logic Gates for Ultrafast Network Interchanges
By overcoming speed bottlenecks from electronic switching as well as optical/electronic conversions, all-optical logic gates can permit further exploitation of the nearly 40THz of bandwidth available from optical fibers. We focus on the use of optical solitons and alloptical logic gates to implement ultrafast "interchanges" or switching nodes on packet networks with speeds of 100Gbit/s or great...
