Investigation of Metallic Elliptical Nano-Pinholes Structure-Based Plasmonic Lenses: From Design to Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel metallic elliptical nano-pinholes-based plasmonic lens was put forth for the purpose of superfocusing. Systematic investigation of the lens from design to fabrication and characterization were described in this paper. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) enhanced transmission is theoretically analyzed using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm-based computational calculation. Then the designed pattern was fabricated using focused ion beam (FIB) directly milling technique. Focusing of the lens is observed from the results of both theoretical calculation and experimental characterization using near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM). The experimental results are in agreement with that of the theoretical calculation. Our results demonstrated that the lens can realize subwavelength focusing with enhanced transmission, elongated focal length, and depth of focus.

We report the focusing of surface plasmon polaritons by circular and elliptical structures milled into optically thick metallic films or plasmonic lenses. Both theoretical and experimental data for the electromagnetic nearfield is presented. The nearfield is mapped experimentally using nearfield scanning optical microscopy and plasmonic lithography. We find that the intensity at the focal point...

متن کاملTunable Plasmonic Nanoparticles Based on Prolate Spheroids
Metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. Spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using Mie theory. However a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...

Compared to the long history of plasmonic gratings, there are only a few studies regarding the bandgap in the propagation of plasmonic surface waves. Considering the previous studies on interpretation of plasmonic bandgap formation, we discuss this phenomenon using the effect of both surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and localized surface plasmon (LSP) for our fabricated one-dimensional metallic-...

High gain broadband plasmonic slot nano-antenna has been considered. The theory of plasmonic slot nano-antenna (PSNA) has been developed. The analytical model takes into account also the electrical field inside the metal due to imperfectness of metal in optical range, as well as numerical investigation based on finite element method (FEM) has been realized. It should be mentioned that Yagi-Uda ...
