Topology Analysis

A local flow topology analysis was conducted for laminar particle-affected flows. Based on the invariants of the velocity gradient tensor, all possible flow structures can be categorized into two focal and two nodal topologies for incompressible flows. The underlying field descriptions for bubble- and droplet-affected flows in the creeping flow regime were determined analytically for two different boundary conditions. A nodal-to-focal-to-nodal transition can be observed in both phases and the focal topologies are predominant in the interior phase. It was also found that the topology distribution in the interior phase is independent of the dynamic viscosity ratio and the boundary conditions, which is not the case in the exterior phase. The focal region in the exterior phase extends to infinity for the far-field boundary condition, whereas it is bounded to a tire-like zone attached to the bubble or droplet for the near-field boundary condition. Furthermore, the existence of a narrow band of intermediate nodal topologies was demonstrated analytically, which raises the question on the origin of this behavior. To complement the findings about the flow topology classification, the strengths of the underlying vorticity and invariant fields are discussed, including their dependency on the considered phase and boundary condition.

Based on the near-field interference of two slit apertures in a subwavelength plasmonic waveguide, an ultra-broadband unidirectional SPP launcher beyond the diffraction limit was experimentally realized. This ultra-small SPP launcher has important applications in high-integration plasmonic circuits.

AbstractWe investigated the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on gold films with the metallized probe tip of a scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM). The emission of the polaritons from the tip, illuminated by near-infrared laser radiation, was found to be anisotropic and not circularly symmetric as expected on the basis of literature data. We furthermore identified an additional excitation channel via light that was reflected off the tip and excited the plasmon polaritons at the edge of the metal film. Our results, while obtained for a non-rotationally-symmetric type of probe tip and thus specific for this situation, indicate that when an s-SNOM is employed for the investigation of plasmonic structures, the unintentional excitation of surface waves and anisotropic surface wave propagation must be considered in order to correctly interpret the signatures of plasmon polariton generation and propagation.
