Surface plasmon polaritons in sub-wavelength metallic gratings studied by higher-order angle-resolved spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angle-resolved reflection spectroscopy is used to study surface plasmon polariton modes of metallic gratings consisting of sub-wavelength grooves. The used optical set-up allows recording of zero and m = −1 order reflection spectra in the visible and near infra-red spectral region. The different modes and their mutual coupling was identified in the dispersion diagram by means of modal theory. Surface plasmon modes at the grating surface and cavity modes in the sub-wavelength grooves were evidenced.

Experimental demonstration of surface and bulk plasmon polaritons in hypergratings
Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) represent a novel class of fascinating anisotropic plasmonic materials, supporting highly confined bulk plasmon polaritons in addition to the surface plasmon polaritons. However, it is very challenging to tailor and excite those modes at optical frequencies using prism coupling technique because of the intrinsic difficulties to engineer non-traditional optical pr...

In this letter, we demonstrate the possibility of an effective nano-scale FabryPerot interferometer in a sub-wavelength plasmonic waveguide in the form of a triangular groove on a metal surface, guiding channel plasmon-polaritons (CPPs). The resonant cavity is formed by two semitransparent metal membranes (mirrors) placed into the groove. Effective filtering effect of the cavity is demonstrated...

متن کاملPlasmonic resonance shift for various nanodevice geometries
Plasmonic nanodevices are metallic structures that exhibit plasmonic effects when exposed to light, causing scattering and enhancement of that light. These plasmons makes it possible for light to be focused below the diffraction limit. Darkfield spectroscopy has been used to capture the scattering spectra of these structures in order to examine the scattering and resonant frequencies of the pla...
متن کاملTunable surface plasmon resonance on an elastomeric substrate.
In this study, we demonstrate that periods of metallic gratings on elastomeric substrates can be tuned with external strain and hence are found to control the resonance condition of surface plasmon polaritons. We have excited the plasmon resonance on the elastomeric grating coated with gold and silver. The grating period is increased up to 25% by applying an external mechanical strain. The tuna...
