Polarization Rotators

We report a near-transparent 90[Formula: see text] polarization rotator by using a single-layer microstructure. The co-polarization light has been suppressed by using destructive interference. At the same time, the transmission of cross-polarization light has been improved with inference effect between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and localized surface plasmons (LSPs). This efficient polarization rotation mechanism may be very useful in designing polarization rotators.

Plasmon Polaritons

We demonstrated the coupling of localized surface plasmons and surface plasmon polaritons modes in a system composed of a metallic particle chain separated from a thin metallic film. The results showed that: (1) the thickness of the metallic particles buried in the dielectric space, (2) the positions of the particles influence the level of interaction between localized surface plasmons and surface plasmon polaritons modes. Meanwhile, the positions of the particles and the thickness of the metallic particles control the electromagnetic enhancement and influence the electric field distributions in this system. This kind of system has a very promising candidate for biosensing and surface enhanced spectroscopy applications.

Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons

AbstractIn this review, we present a brief introduction on the spoof surface plasmons supported on corrugated metallic plates with nearly zero thickness. We mainly focus on the propagation characteristics of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), excitation of planar SPPs, and several plasmonic devices including the bending waveguide, Y-shaped beam splitter, frequency splitter, and filter. These devices are designed and fabricated with either planar or conformal plasmonic metamaterials, which are validated by both full-wave simulations and experiments, showing high performance. We also demonstrate that an ultrathin textured metallic disk can support multipolar spoof localized surface plasmons, either with straight or curved grooves, from which the Fano resonances are also observed.

AbstractWe report on a non-sharp-corner quarter wave plate (NCQW) within the single layer of only 8 nm thickness structured by the Ag hollow elliptical ring array, where the strong localized surface plasmons (LSP) resonances are excited. By manipulating the parameters of the hollow elliptical ring, the transmitted amplitude and phase of the two orthogonal components are well controlled. The phase difference of π/2 and amplitude ratio of 1 is realized simultaneously at the wavelength of 834 nm with the transmission of 0.46. The proposed NCQW also works well in an ultrawide wavelength band of 110 nm, which suggests an efficient way of exciting LSP resonances and designing wave plates, and provides a great potential for advanced nanophotonic devices and integrated photonic systems.

Plasmon Polaritons

Surface plasmon polaritons are electromagnetic waves coupled to collective electron oscillations propagating along metal-dielectric interfaces, exhibiting a bosonic character. Recent experiments involving surface plasmons guided by wires or stripes allowed the reproduction of quantum optics effects, such as antibunching with a single surface plasmon state, coalescence with a two-plasmon state, conservation of squeezing, or entanglement through plasmonic channels. We report the first direct demonstration of the wave-particle duality for a single surface plasmon freely propagating along a planar metal-air interface. We develop a platform that enables two complementary experiments, one revealing the particle behavior of the single-plasmon state through antibunching, and the other one where the interferences prove its wave nature. This result opens up new ways to exploit quantum conversion effects between different bosonic species as shown here with photons and polaritons.

Plasmon Polaritons

We investigated experimentally the plasmon-enhanced photoluminescence of the amorphous silicon quantum dots (a-Si QDs) light-emitting devices (LEDs) with theAg/SiOx:a-Si QDs/Ag sandwich nanostructures, through the coupling between the a-Si QDs and localized surface plasmons polaritons (LSPPs) mode, by tuning a one-dimensional (1D) Ag grating on the top. The coupling of surface plasmons at the top and bottomAg/SiOx:a-Si QDs interfaces resulted in the localized surface plasmon polaritons (LSPPs) confined underneath the Ag lines, which exhibit the Fabry-Pérot resonance. From the Raman spectrum, it proves the existence of a-Si QDs embedded in Si-richSiOxfilm (SiOx:a-Si QDs) at a low annealing temperature (300°C) to prevent the possible diffusion of Ag atoms from Ag film. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of a-Si QDs can be precisely tuned by a 1D Ag grating with different pitches and Ag line widths were investigated. An optimized Ag grating structure, with 500 nm pitch and 125 nm Ag line width, was found to achieve up to 4.8-fold PL enhancement at 526 nm and 2.46-fold PL integrated intensity compared to the a-Si QDs LEDs without Ag grating structure, due to the strong a-Si QDs-LSPPs coupling.
