Near-field surface plasmon effects on Au-double-slit diffraction for polychromatic light
نویسنده
چکیده
The surface plasmon effects on near-field diffraction for polychromatic light are studied. An Au-double-slit is used as the model and Fresnel integral is employed to perform the theoretic analysis. The results are illustrated with numerical examples and they show that, compared with the normal double-slit, the plasmon effect changes the spectral shift from redshift to blueshift and also enhances the intensity peak. This effect can be used in optical data transmission or specific spectral selectors.

Rigorous analysis of vectorial plasmonic diffraction: single- and double-slit experiments
A rigorous vectorial formulation of the surface diffractive optics of plasmon polaritons is derived using the Green’s function formalism. Theoretical predictions for several 2D plasmonic scenarios, i.e. plasmonic single-and double-slit diffraction, are exemplified and compared with published experimental observations. The importance, in near field diffraction, of all vectorial components of pla...
متن کاملUltra-broadband unidirectional launching of surface plasmon polaritons by a double-slit structure beyond the diffraction limit.
Surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) launchers, which can couple the free space light to the SPPs on the metal surface, are among the key elements for the plasmonic devices and nano-photonic systems. Downscaling the SPP launchers below the diffraction limit and directly delivering the SPPs to the desired subwavelength plasmonic waveguides are of importance for high-integration plasmonic circuits. By...

We study the influence of optical near-field interactions on the dipole surface plasmon resonance of Au nanoparticles in closely spaced particle arrays using finite-difference timedomain simulations. In particular, the resonance energies of the collective plasmon-polariton modes are determined for longitudinal and transverse polarization for different particle array lengths and inter-particle s...

In this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. First, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on Stratton-Cho surface integral equations. Then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. It is shown that in scatter...
