The recent surface plasmon entanglement experiment [Nature (London) 418, 304 (2002)]] is theoretically analyzed. The entanglement preservation upon transmission in the nonfocused case is found to provide information about the interaction of the biphoton and the metallic film. The entanglement degradation in the focused case is explained in the framework of a fully multimode model. This phenomenon is a consequence of the polarization-selective filtering behavior of the metallic nanostructured film. It is shown that the "which-way" labels that degrade entanglement are not located in the degrees of freedom of the metallic film but rather in the spatial degrees of freedom of the photon field. 相似文献

We propose a broadband perfect polarization conversion metasurface composed of copper sheet-backed asymmetric double spilt ring resonator(DSRR).The broadband perfect polarization convertibility results from metallic ground and multiple plasmon resonances of the DSRR.Physics of plasmon resonances are governed by the electric and magnetic resonances.Both the simulation and measured results show that the polarization conversion ratio(PCR)is higher than 99%for both x-and y-polarized normally incident EM waves and the fractional bandwidth is about 34.5%.The metasurface possesses the merits of high PCR and broad bandwidth,and thus has great application values in novel polarization-control devices. 相似文献

Surface plasmon photodetectors are of vigorous current interest. Such detectors typically combine a metallic structure that supports surface plasmons with a photodetection structure based on internal photoemission or electron‐hole pair creation. Detector architectures are highly varied, involving surface plasmons on planar metal waveguides, on metal gratings, on nano‐particles, ‐islands, or ‐antennas, or involving plasmon‐mediated transmission through one or many sub‐wavelength holes in a metal film. Properties inherent to surface plasmons, such as sub‐wavelength confinement and their ability to resonate on tiny metallic structures, are exploited to convey useful characteristics to detectors in addressing applications such as low‐noise high‐speed detection, single‐plasmon detection, near‐ and mid‐infrared imaging, photovoltaic solar energy conversion, and (bio)chemical sensing. The operating principles behind surface plasmon detectors are reviewed, the literature on the topic is surveyed, and avenues that appear promising are highlighted. 相似文献

A novel dual-broadband and near-perfect reflective polarization converter based on anisotropic metasurface is presented and analyzed in this paper. The unit cell of the proposed converter is composed of a double-cut slotted metallic split-ring and a metallic ground sheet separated by an F4B-2 substrate. Both numerical analysis and measured results demonstrate that the proposed converter has five plasmon resonance frequencies, and can near-completely convert the x- or y-polarized incident wave to its orthogonal counterpart in two frequency bands (9.5–12.9 GHz, 16.1–20.2 GHz). The corresponding polarization conversion ratio is more than 98.3% in the first frequency band and 99.7% in the second one. In addition, the bandwidths and central frequencies of the two frequency bands can be effectively tuned over a wide range by adjusting the geometrical dimensions of the metasurface, while the high conversion efficiency is preserved. The proposed polarization converter may have great potentials in electromagnetic polarization control applications. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a novel metasurface design that achieves a high-efficiency ultra-broadband cross polarization conversion. The metasurface is composed of an array of unit resonators, each of which combines an H-shaped structure and two rectangular metallic patches. Different plasmon resonance modes are excited in unit resonators and allow the polarization states to be manipulated. The bandwidth of the cross polarization converter is 82% of the central frequency,covering the range from 15.7 GHz to 37.5 GHz. The conversion efficiency of the innovative new design is higher than 90%.At 14.43 GHz and 40.95 GHz, the linearly polarized incident wave is converted into a circularly polarized wave. 相似文献

We theoretically investigate the plasmon coupling in metallic nanorod dimers. A pronounced dip is found in the extinction spectrum due to plasmonic Fano resonance, which is induced by destructive interference between the bright dipole plasmon of a short nanorod and the dark quadrupole plasmon of a long nanorod. This Fano interference can also be explained as the coupling between the bright and dark modes both supported by the whole dimer. The Fano resonance can be tuned by adjusting the spatial or spectral separation between two nanorods in the dimer. 相似文献

The dynamics of the surface plasmon in laser-driven metallic
nanoparticles is described by means of a master-equation formalism. Within
the Markov approximation, the dynamics is studied for different regimes
ranging from weak excitation in photoabsorption experiments to strong
excitation in pump-probe spectroscopy. It is shown that two collective levels
are sufficient to describe the dynamics of the surface plasmon. On this basis,
we predict the appearance of sidebands in the absorption spectrum of the
probe laser field in pump-probe experiments. 相似文献

We present a theoretical study on collective excitation modes associated with plasmon and surface-plasmon oscilla- tions in cylindrical metallic nanowires. Based on a two-subband model, the dynamical dielectric function matrix is derived under the random-phase approximation. An optic-like branch and an acoustic-like branch, which are free of Landau damp- ing, are observed for both plasmon and surface-plasmon modes. Interestingly, for surface-plasmon modes, we find that two branches of the dispersion relation curves converge at a wavevector qz = qrnax beyond which no surface-plasmon mode exists. Moreover, we examine the dependence of these excitation modes on sample parameters such as the radius of the nanowires. It is found that in metallic nanowires realized by state-of-the-art nanotechnology the intra- and inter-subband plasmon and surface-plasmon frequencies are in the terahertz bandwidth. The frequency of the optic-like modes decreases with increasing radius of the nanowires, whereas that of the acoustic-like modes is not sensitive to the variation of the radius. This study is pertinent to the application of metallic nanowires as frequency-tunable terahertz plasmonic devices. 相似文献

In the framework of kinetic approach we develop a theory for light scattering by ellipsoidal metallic nanoparticles whose dimensions are less than those of a free electron path. In this case, the surface of the particle starts to play a dominant role in electron scattering. When the size of the particle decreases below the free electron path at least in one direction, the optical conductivity becomes a tensor quantity, and the diagonal components of this tensor define the half-widths of the plasmon resonances peaks. Thus, the effect of the particles' shape both on the frequencies of plasmon resonances and on their half-widths is considered. Additionally, the expression for a cross-section of the light scattering by a collection of chaotically oriented spheroidal nanoparticles is obtained and averaged over different directions of particles in the collection. Our results highlight the plasmonic properties of metallic nanospheroids, notably, the spectrum of the light scattering has two peaks at the frequencies of plasmon resonances even if there is no preferential direction in the collection of particles. 相似文献

Using Ohm’s law, a solution to plasmon hybridization via Kirchoff’s equations results in a simple and intuitive picture of a metal nanoparticle dimer as a capacitively coupled circuit. Calculated absorption spectra and surface charge densities show that dimers of different metallic composition support different super- and sub-radiant plasmons compared to homodimers. Strong screening of Coulomb interactions between nanoparticles of different metallic background prohibits the excitation of anti-bonding plasmons, while changes to the free electron conductivity upon a collective response result in coupled plasmon lifetimes which shift as a function of interparticle distance. Smaller separations then result in the longest lived plasmons. 相似文献

The extinction spectrum of a
dielectric film with periodic array of metallic
islands of different shapes and different
mutual distances
was studied both theoretically
and experimentally. It is shown, analytically,
numerically and experimentally, that the
positions of the surface plasmon resonances depend on
the nano-structural details.
We propose two ways of controlling plasmon resonance frequency:
changing the aspect ratio
of the elliptical (or rectangular) islands and changing their
mutual distances.
A new analytical asymptotic approach for calculating the optical
properties of such plasmonic systems is developed.
The results of our analytical and numerical studies are in
good qualitative agreement with experiment. 相似文献

The spin dependence of the focusing behavior of a spiral slot plasmonic lens can be utilized for a miniature circular polarization analyzer. However, the azimuthal polarization component of the incident circular polarization does not contribute to surface plasmon excitation and focusing because it is TE polarized with respect to the spiral slot. In this Letter, a hybrid metallic lens that consists of alternating spiral triangle array and spiral slot is designed to improve the plasmonic coupling efficiency. The spiral triangle array is responsible for coupling the azimuthal polarization component into surface plasmon. Numerical studies show that the field enhancement at the focus and power conversion efficiency can be increased by 39.53% and 94.69% compared to that of pure spiral slot plasmonic lens. 相似文献

It is generally admitted that the extraordinary transmission of metallic grating with very narrow slits is mainly due to the excitation of surface plasmons on the upper and lower interfaces of the grating. We show that the surface plasmon contribution is not the prime effect and that waveguide mode resonance and diffraction are responsible for the extraordinary transmission. Additionally and surprisingly, we reveal that the transmittance of subwavelength metallic gratings is always nearly zero for frequencies corresponding to surface plasmon excitation. This finding implies that surface plasmons play a negative role in the transmission. 相似文献

Enhanced transmission through periodic arrays of subwavelength holes: the role of localized waveguide resonances 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
By using the rigid full-vectorial three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method, we show that the enhanced transmission through a metallic film with a periodic array of subwavelength holes results from two different resonances: (i) localized waveguide resonances where each air hole can be considered as a section of metallic waveguide with both ends open to free space, forming a low-quality-factor resonator, and (ii) well-recognized surface plasmon resonances due to the periodicity. These two different resonances can be characterized from electromagnetic band structures in the structured metal film. In addition, we show that the shape effect in the enhanced transmission through the Au film with subwavelength holes is attributed to the localized waveguide resonance. 相似文献

Enhanced light transmission through cascaded metal films perforated with periodic hole arrays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report experimental results on enhanced light transmission through two periodically perforated metal films separated by a layer of dielectric. A perforated metal film (single metallic structure) exhibits extraordinary optical transmission, and when two such perforated metal films are spaced by a dielectric layer (cascaded metallic structure), the transmission is further increased. The maximum transmission of the cascaded metallic structure, which depends on the distance between the two metal films, can be more than 400% greater than that of a corresponding single metallic structure. It is proposed that the coupling of surface plasmon polaritons between the two metal films is involved in the process. 相似文献

Two-photon photoemission spectroscopy using femtosecond laser pulses is used to investigate the excitation and decay mechanisms
of the surface plasmon resonance in Ag nanoparticles grown on graphite. The resonant excitation of this collective excitation
leads to a two-orders-of-magnitude-enhanced two-photon photoemission yield from a graphite surface with Ag nanoparticles compared
to the yield from pure graphite. From the shape of the photoemission spectra, the polarization dependence of the photoemission
yield and the excitation probabilities for different excitation pathways we conclude that excitation with 400-nm femtosecond
laser pulses leads to the coherent multiple excitation of the surface plasmon in the Ag nanoparticles. This multiply excited
plasmon mode can decay via the coupling to a single-particle excitation leading to the emission of an electron if its final
state is located in the continuum. The surface plasmon in metallic nanoparticles is a model system to investigate collective
excitations in multiphoton processes.

We investigate the sensitivity and figure of merit (FOM) of a localized surface plasmon (LSP) sensor with gold nanograting on the top of planar metallic film. The sensitivity of the localized surface plasmon sensor is 317 nm/RIU, and the FOM is predicted to be above 8, which is very high for a localized surface plasmon sensor. By employing the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method, we analyze the distribution of the magnetic field and find that the sensing property of our proposed system is attributed to the interactions between the localized surface plasmon around the gold nanostrips and the surface plasmon polarition on the surface of the gold planar metallic film. These findings are important for developing high FOM localized surface plasmon sensors. 相似文献
