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.

Plasmon Polaritons

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.

Plasmon Polaritons

A theory of generation of low- and high-index Bessel surface plasmon polaritons and their superposition in a metal film of a finite thickness is developed. Correct analytical expressions are obtained for the field of two families of Bessel surface plasmon polariton modes formed inside and outside the metal layer. The intensity distribution near the boundary of the layer has been calculated and analyzed. A scheme for the experimental realization of a superposition of Bessel surface plasmon polaritons is suggested. Our study demonstrates that it is feasible to use the superposition of Bessel surface plasmon polaritons as a virtual tip for near-field optical microscopy with a nanoscale resolution.

AbstractWe discuss particular features of generation of surface plasmon polaritons in a metal–dielectric planar interface that is coupled to semiconductor quantum dots by near-field interactions. As a model of working medium for performing numerical experiment, we use a gold metal surface onto which a polyethylene terephthalate film containing CdSe semiconductor spherical quantum dot is deposited. The problem of optimizing the radius of a quantum dot and its distance to a metal surface is solved for achieving the maximum transfer efficiency of the quantum dot energy for the generation of surface plasmon polaritons. Dispersion effects of the surface wave generation rate associated with deviations of the radius of quantum dots and their distance to the metal surface from the corresponding average values are taken into account.
