Geometrically induced modification of surface plasmons in the optical and telecom regimes.

چکیده
We demonstrate that the introduction of a subwavelength periodic modulation into a metallic structure strongly modifies the guiding characteristics of the surface plasmon modes supported by the system. Moreover, it is also shown how a new type, to our knowledge, of a tightly confined surface plasmon polariton mode can be created by just milling a periodic corrugation into a metallic ridge placed on top of a metal surface.

Surface plasmon resonance sensors have been widely considered due to their sensitivity, accuracy and response speed. In order to stimulate surface plasmons, a crisman structure is used in which the metal layer (mainly gold or silver) is placed on the surface of the prism. Due to temperature changes, various factors such as optical properties of the metal, the prism and the surrounding environme...

متن کاملGeneration of surface plasmons at single subwavelength slits: from slit to ridge plasmon
Understanding how surface plasmons can be launched by single subwavelength structures is crucial for the development of surface plasmonbased devices within highly integrated photonic circuits. In this paper, we study the coupling efficiency of light to surface plasmons for single slits milled in a thin metal film by analyzing the far-field optical images recorded in the Fourier plane of a leaka...
متن کاملMagneto-optical effects in interacting localized and propagating surface plasmon modes.
We report that the effect of an external magnetic field on the propagation of surface plasmons can be effectively modified through the coupling between localized (LSP) and propagating (SPP) surface plasmons. When these plasmon modes do not interact, the main effect of the magnetic field is a modification of the wavevector of the SPP mode, leaving the LSP virtually unaffected. Once both modes st...
متن کاملHigh-order localized spoof surface plasmon resonances and experimental verifications
We theoretically demonstrated and experimentally verified high-order radial spoof localized surface plasmon resonances supported by textured metal particles. Through an effective medium theory and exact numerical simulations, we show the emergence of these geometrically-originated electromagnetic modes at microwave frequencies. The occurrence of high-order radial spoof plasmon resonances is exp...
