چکیده
Nonlinear photoelectron emission from metallic nanotips is explored in the strong-field regime. The passage between the multiphoton and the optical field emission regimes is clearly identified. The experimental observations are in agreement with a quantum mechanical strong-field model.

Applications of field-enhanced near-field optical microscopy.
Metal nanostructures such as sharp tips can enhance emission yields through shape-induced local field enhancement. The enhancement originates from two mechanisms: surface plasmons and electrostatic lightening rod effects. We present fluorescence imaging using the strong local field created at the apex of a gold tip and demonstrate optical resolution of 25 nm. The enhancement effect gives also r...
متن کاملLaser-induced Field Emission from Tungsten Tip: Optical Control of Emission Sites and Emission Process
Field-emission patterns from a clean tungsten tip apex induced by femtosecond laser pulses have been investigated. Strongly asymmetric field-emission intensity distributions are observed depending on three parameters: (i) the polarization of the light, (ii) the azimuthal, and (iii) the polar orientation of the tip apex relative to the laser incidence direction. In effect, we have realized an ul...
متن کاملStatic and optical field enhancement in metallic nanotips studied by two-photon photoemission microscopy and spectroscopy excited by picosecond laser pulses
The authors studied the photoemission from molybdenum nanotip arrays with controlled apex curvatures by photoelectron microscopy and spectroscopy excited by 10 ps visible laser pulses under dc electric field. While two-photon photoemission microscopy demonstrates the enhancement of photoabsorption at the sharp tip apex, spatially resolved analysis of the photoelectron energy revealed anomalous ...
متن کاملPlasmonic lens focused longitudinal field excitation for tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
A novel tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy setup with longitudinal field excitation generated by a plasmonic lens is investigated. A symmetry-breaking structure plasmonic lens that is expected to realize a strong longitudinal electric field focus has been designed to generate suitable excitation for enhancement in a tip antenna. The focusing performance of the plasmonic lens is theoretically simul...
متن کاملPlasmon-coupled tip-enhanced near-field optical microscopy.
Near the cut-off radius of a guided waveguide mode of a metal-coated glass fibre tip it is possible to couple radiation to surface plasmons propagating on the outside surface of the metal coating. These surface plasmons converge toward the apex of the tip and interfere constructively for particular polarization states of the initial waveguide mode. Calculations show that a radially polarized wa...
