Journal ArticleDOI
Surface plasmon subwavelength optics
TL;DR: By altering the structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their interaction with light—can be tailored, which could lead to miniaturized photonic circuits with length scales that are much smaller than those currently achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Squeezing the Optical Near-Field Zone by Plasmon Coupling of Metallic Nanoparticles
Joachim R. Krenn,Alain Dereux,Jean-Claude Weeber,Eric Bourillot,Yvon Lacroute,J. P. Goudonnet,Gerburg Schider,W. Gotschy,Alfred Leitner,Franz R. Aussenegg,Christian Girard +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental observation of near-field optical effects close to Au nanoparticles using a photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) allowed an unprecedented direct comparison with theoretical computations of the optical near field intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient unidirectional nanoslit couplers for surface plasmons
F. López-Tejeira,Sergio G. Rodrigo,Luis Martín-Moreno,Francisco J. Garcia-Vidal,Eloïse Devaux,Thomas W. Ebbesen,Joachim R. Krenn,Ilya P. Radko,Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi,María Ujué González,Jean-Claude Weeber,Alain Dereux +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a back-side slit-illumination method that incorporates a periodic array of grooves carved into the front side of a thick metal film was proposed to enhance the propagation of SPPs away from the array, enabling them to be unidirectionally launched from, and focused to, a localized point.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-field optics theories
Christian Girard,Alain Dereux +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of near-field optics theory is reviewed and the main results of the application of various practical schemes which all rely on a numerical procedure are discussed from the point of view of their ability to assess evanescent electromagnetic waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalized Field Propagator For Electromagnetic Scattering And Light Confinement
TL;DR: A new theoretical and numerical framework for the study of the optical properties of micrometric and nanometric three-dimensional structures of arbitrary shape is presented and it is shown that the field distribution induced inside and outside such a structure can be obtained from a unique generalized field propagator expressed in direct space.
