Researchers developed a plasmonic device creating self-imaging surface plasmon voids. This 2D surface bottle beam array offers flexible control over void patterns and numbers, verified experimentally.

Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Plasmonics
  • Optical Metrology

Background:

  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves confined to metal-dielectric interfaces.
  • Controlling SPP propagation is crucial for nanophotonic device applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and demonstrate a novel plasmonic device for generating a self-imaging surface plasmon void array.
  • To investigate the tunability of the void array's pattern and void count.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the interference of two nondiffracting cosine-Gauss beams to generate surface plasmon voids.
  • Performed full-wave electromagnetic calculations to simulate the void array formation.
  • Experimentally verified the self-imaging voids using an aperture-type near-field scanning optical microscope.
