Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Nanotechnology
  • Electromagnetism
  • Surface Physics

Background:

  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves confined to metal surfaces.
  • SPPs offer potential for sensitive detection and optical miniaturization due to field concentration and short wavelengths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an optical analog of phased antenna arrays for controlling surface plasmon polaritons.
  • To demonstrate dynamic and directional emission of surface waves using a plasmonic system.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a thick gold film with individual holes acting as SPP emitters.
  • Utilizing a digital spatial light modulator to individually control the phase of SPPs.
  • Employing phase-sensitive near-field microscopy for experimental validation.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated accurate directional emission of surface plasmon polaritons.
  • Showcased the ability to dynamically shape the propagation of surface waves.
  • Verified the functionality of the optical phased array concept at optical frequencies.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optical system provides a compact and flexible method for controlling SPP propagation.
  • This technique holds significant promise for future nanophotonic applications.
  • The plasmonic phased array offers a new paradigm for manipulating light at the nanoscale.
