The theory of magnon-plasmon polaritons in the layered structure metal–ferrite–air is presented. It is assumed that the ferrite has an easy-axis anisotropy, and, in the absence of a magnetization field, it is in an unsaturated state with a periodic stripe-like domain structure. A dispersion dependence for magnon-plasmon polaritons and corresponding microwave field distributions in a waveguide structure based on BaFe12O19-type hexaferrite are found. Effects associated with the hybridization of surface plasmon polaritons and domain resonances in the ferrite layer are analyzed. General characteristics of magnon-plasmon-polariton millimeter-wave resonators are discussed.

AbstractHere at the first time we suggested that the surface plasmon-polariton phenomenon which it is well described in metallic nanostructures could also be used for explanation of the unexpectedly strong oxidative effects of the low-intensity laser irradiation in living matters (cells, tissues, organism). We demonstrated that the narrow-band laser emitting at 1265 nm could generate significant amount of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both HCT116 and CHO-K1 cell cultures. Such cellular ROS effects could be explained through the generation of highly localized plasmon-polaritons on the surface of mitochondrial crista. Our experimental conditions, the low-intensity irradiation, the narrow spectrum band (<4 nm) of the laser and comparably small size bio-structures (~10 μm) were shown to be sufficient for the plasmon-polariton generation and strong laser field confinement enabling the oxidative stress observed.

t is shown that the inverse Faraday effect appears in the case of surface plasmon polariton propagation near a metal-paramagnetic interface. The inverse Faraday effect in nanostructured periodically perforated metaldielectric films increases because of the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons. In this case, a stationary magnetic field is amplified by more than an order of magnitude compared to the case of a smooth paramagnetic film. The distribution of an electromagnetic field is sensitive to the wavelength and the angle of incidence of light, which allows one to efficiently control the local magnetization arising due to the inverse Faraday effect.

ABSTRACTWe model the operation of a micro-optical interferometer for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that comprises an SPP beam-splitter formed by equivalent scatterers lined up and equally spaced. The numerical calculations are carried out by using a vector dipolar model for multiple SPP scattering. The SPP beam-splitter is simulated for different angles of the incident SPP beam, radii of the particles, and inter-particle distances in order to find a suitable configuration for realization of a 3dB SPP beam-splitter. The results obtained are in good agreement with experimental data available in the literature. The feasibility of fabricating an interferometer is thereby corroborated and the calculated intensity maps are found rather similar to those experimentally reported.

The total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE) method was used for the excitation and study of the sensitivity features of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and Bloch surface waves (BSWs) resonances. For the BSWs generation distributed Bragg gratings were formed on the tops of the substrates (BK7 glass substrate), which had six bilayers of ~120 nm SiO2 and ~40 nm TiO2 and 40 nm of TiO2 on the top. The SPP sample consisted of the BK7 glass prism and a gold layer (45 nm). Numerical calculations of the optical dispersions and the experimental TIRE data have shown that SPP resonance overtake the BSWs in wavelength scanning by a factor of about 17. However, for the ellipsometric parameters Ψ and Δ in the vicinity of excitations, the BSW sensitivity is comparable with SPP. The obtained resolutions were Δ S P P = 7.14 × 10 − 6 R I U , Ψ S P P = 1.7 × 10 − 5 R I U for the SPP and Δ B S W = 8.7 × 10 − 6 R I U , Ψ B S W = 2.7 × 10 − 5 R I U for the BSW. The capabilities of both surface excitations are discussed from the sensitivity point of view in the design of these advanced biosensors.

Abstract Theory of five kinds of layered structure THz waveguides is presented. In these waveguides, the modified and hybrid THz surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) are researched in detail. On these modes, the effects of material in each layer are discussed. The anti-resonant reflecting mechanism is also discussed in these waveguides. The mode characteristics of both TM mode and TE mode are analyzed for guiding TM mode with low loss and TE modes with huge loss in one waveguide: the TE modes filter application is put forward. The mode characteristics for one waveguide have useful sensor applications: for TE1 mode, we find that the low cut-off frequency has a sensitivity (S) to the refractive index of the dielectric slab. The highest S can be 666.7 GHz/RIU when n2 = 1.5, w = 0 and t = 0.1 mm. We believe these results are very useful for designing practical THz devices for SPPs, filter and sensor applications.

We propose a gapped surface plasmon polariton waveguide (G-SPPW) device based on a liquid crystal (LC) at a wavelength of 1.55 μm. The G-SPPW device is composed of an input 2.0-μm-wide and 5.0-μm-long insulator-metal-insulator waveguide (IMI-W), an 8-μm-long gap, and an output 2.0-μm-wide and 25.0-μm-long IMI-W. The LC is used for the gap and the 5.15-μm-thick upper and lower dielectric layers. The input surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagate and jump over the gap in the G-SPPW with a coupling loss of less than ∼0.68 dB. The propagation and coupling losses of the 38-μm-long G-SPPW device are varied in the range of ∼0.5268 dB to ∼2.6716 dB and ∼0.1446 dB to ∼0.6784 dB, respectively, with LC tilt angles (1, 2) = 0° ∼ 90° at a fixed 90° twist angle. The normalized transmission of the G-SPPW device is also varied in the range from −3.351 dB to −0.6714 dB with 1, 2 = 0° ∼ 90° at a fixed 90° twist angle. The output SPP characteristics of the G-SPPW device can be properly controlled by the orientation of the LC molecules. The proposed G-SPPW device shows potential for new active plasmonic device applications.
