We investigated the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on gold films with the metallized probe tip of a scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM). The emission of the polaritons from the tip, illuminated by near-infrared laser

Experimental nanofocusing of surface plasmon polaritons using a gravitational field
How to capture electromagnetic fields into sub-wavelength spatial scales has been a major challenge in nanophotonics, especially confining surface plasmon polaritons into regions as small as a few nanometers.

Surface Plasmon Launching by Polariton Superradiance [PDF]
The condition of phase matching prohibits the transfer of excitation from free-space photons to surface plasmon polaritons (SPP). We propose and analyze a scheme that excites an ensemble of emitters in a collective state, which is phase matched with the SPP by the optical pulses used for its preparation. By a collective enhancement the ensemble, hence,

The conversion of a helical surface plasmon polariton (SPP) creeping out of a circular nanohole in a thick metal (Ag or Au) film into a spiral (Hankel type) SPP outward propagating at the film's interface is studied theoretically. The dispersion relations of SPPs of various modes in a nanohole, calculated from a transcendental equation, show that the ...

Ultrafast Surface-Plasmon Enhancement of Exciton and Defect Luminescence in ZnO Thin Films
Femtosecond pump-probe and photoluminescence measurements in transmission and reflection show that ultraviolet band-edge and visible defect luminescence in ZnO films can be selectively enhanced by coupling to Ag surface-plasmon polaritons or localized ...

Hidden symmetry protection for surface plasmon polaritons
In this study, we reveal the general mechanism of hidden symmetry protection for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). SPPs are protected at zero frequency when the dielectric-metal interface exhibits an exceptional symmetry.
