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.

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.

Abstract In this study, we reported a silver sinusoidal nanograting used in microchannels, forming H2O/Ag/NOA heterostructure, and studied the impact of interactions of grating-coupled surface Plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). FDTD simulations showed that when the refractive index of NOA is close to that of H2O, there were two modes of odd coupling and even coupling between SPPs. Additionally, the thinner the Ag grating, the stronger the coupling, accompanied by the frequency shift of the two coupling modes. We also estimated the influence of refractive index of the surrounding medium on SPPs coupling by varying the dielectric of the upper and lower layer of Ag grating. Our experimental results were supported by FDTD calculations, which confirmed the importance of the interactions of grating-coupled SPPs in the design of SERS substrate.
