Period reduction lithography in normal UV range with surface plasmon polaritons interference and hyperbolic metamaterial multilayer structure

In this paper, we investigated the features of plasmon-polaritons excited at the interface of a magnetoelectric hyperbolic metamaterial and a dielectric for the case when the optical axis is arbitrary oriented under the normal to the boundary. Expressions are obtained for the complex electric and magnetic vectors as well as for the decay constants of the fields on both sides of the interface. The possibility is shown and the conditions are determined for localization of plasmon-polariton at the boundary of metamaterial of different types. It is shown that the wave vector of plasmon-polariton has the component oriented perpendicular to the boundary. It is established that for metamaterials of different types changing the orientation of the optical axis one can realize the conditions when the phase velocity of plasmon-polariton is directed from the boundary inside a metamaterial or a dielectric.

We review the properties of hyperbolic metamaterials and show that they are promising candidates as substrates for nanoimaging, nanosensing, fluorescence engineering, and controlling thermal emission. Hyperbolic metamaterials can support unique bulk modes, tunable surface plasmon polaritons, and surface hyperbolic states (Dyakonov plasmons) that can be used for a variety of applications. We compare the effective medium predictions with practical realizations of hyperbolic metamaterials to show their potential for radiative decay engineering, bioimaging, subsurface sensing, metaplasmonics, and super-Planckian thermal emission.

In paper the results of modeling, synthesis and research of a double-resonant plasmonic structure for excitation the various mode of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPP) are presents. It's demonstrated the possibility for excitation of SPP resonances by combining the Kretschmann and Otto configurations on one asymmetric multilayer structure. The parameters of such structure were optimized for obtaining the most effective SPP excitation. It's considered the possibilities for using the proposed double-resonance plasmonic structure as an individual SPP-sensor and as a sensitive element of a plasmonic biosensor.
