The near-field distribution of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) on metallic photonic crystal slabs has been studied. Preliminary numerical simulations indicate that the interference of SPP on the exit side of metallic photonic crystal slabs can redistribute the illumination light into nano-scale spatial distribution, which beats the Rayleigh diffraction limit. The electric field distribution of SPP with a resolution of 50 nm was measured by recording the high intensity range into photoresist with a wavelength of 436 nm. Because of the small wavelength of the plasmon wave, a much higher spatial resolution can be obtained, which can provide a new nano-fabrication or nano-storage method by using optical light with a long wavelength.
