Observation of space-time surface plasmon polaritons

Nature Communications
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at metal-dielectric interfaces provide strong out-of-plane confinement enabling nano-scale sensing and imaging, yet diffraction causes spatial delocalization. Conventional strategies to combat diffraction through spatial

Surface plasmon polaritons on curved surfaces

Optica, 2019
While the motion of a classical particle bounded to a surface depends only on the local curvature, the dynamics of a quantum particle depends also on the mean surface curvature. Its influence can be experimentally observed using surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which are naturally surface-bounded waves. Owing to the similarity between the Schrodinger
