Scattering of a surface plasmon polariton by a localized dielectric surface defect.
On the basis of a rigorous, nonperturbative, purely numerical solution of the corresponding reduced Rayleigh equation for the scattering amplitudes we have studied the scattering of a surface plasmon polariton by a two dimensional dielectric defect on a planar metal surface. The profile of the defect is assumed to be an arbitrary single-valued function of the coordinates in the plane of the met...
متن کاملScattering of terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-antenna
Scattering of the terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-antenna is considered. Different electromagnetic models of graphene are discussed and applied to calculate extinction, scattering and absorption cross sections of the nanoantenna. Scattering resonances in the terahertz band are identified as longitudinal Fabry-Perot resonances of surface plasmon polaritons supported by the graphene ...
متن کاملPlasmonic Luneburg and Eaton lenses.
Plasmonics takes advantage of the properties of surface plasmon polaritons, which are localized or propagating quasiparticles in which photons are coupled to the quasi-free electrons in metals. In particular, plasmonic devices can confine light in regions with dimensions that are smaller than the wavelength of the photons in free space, and this makes it possible to match the different length s...
متن کاملTheory of the scattering of light and surface plasmon polaritons by finite-size subwavelength metallic defects via field decomposition
A theoretical model is presented for the scattering of light and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) by finite-size subwavelength metallic defects. Based on the decomposition of the scattered fields into SPPs and quasicylindrical waves (CWs), an SPP–CW model is developed to depict the multiple scattering of SPPs and CWs in finite-size defects using the elementary scattering processes in a single ...
متن کاملNear-field and far-field scattering of surface plasmon polaritons by one-dimensional surface defects
A rigorous formulation for the scattering of surface plasmon polaritons ~SPP’s! from a one-dimensional surface defect of any shape that yields the electromagnetic field in the vacuum half-space above the vacuummetal interface is developed by the use of an impedance boundary condition. The electric and magnetic near fields, the angular distribution of the far-field radiation into vacuum due to S...
