Quick explanation of them Surface plasmons Using English literature

Abbott Abbott, author of...
“Flatland”
“Flatland” A surface plasmon polariton is what a light wave
would be in Flatland

Exist on the interface between a metal and a dielectric
Surface plasmons
Can be excited using light, but not directly Surface plasmons
Can be excited using light, but not directly Surface plasmons
A surface plasmon on a metal-air interface has more momentum
than a photon with the same energy in air Surface plasmons
A photon in a denser medium can match the momentum
of a surface plasmon on a metal-air interface Surface plasmons
Attenuated total reflection — “Kretschmann configuration” ATR Coupling
Evanescent waves from the total internal reflection cross the metal
and couple to plasmons on the other side ATR Coupling
{ That was easy }
It’s a question of “the least bad” Metals for plasmonics
Aluminum is one of the “least bad” Metals for plasmonics
Rakic et al., Appl. Opt. 37, p. 5271 (1998) Aluminum
has an interband transition that absorbs at 800 nm Aluminum

We measure hundreds of one-wavelength curves like these... Experiment
...to get a dispersion curve like this Experiment īĞĐƟǀĞ^WŝŶĚĞdž
The results were less than inspiring for a 9 nm
layer Plasmon dispersion
For a 12 nm layer, the dispersion was anomalous but
less than expected Plasmon dispersion īĞĐƟǀĞ^WŝŶĚĞdž
Novotny et al., J. Nanophotonics 5 (2011) Thin-layer aluminum doesn’t
have the same optical properties as bulk aluminum What’s going on? ďƵůŬ
Thicker aluminum layer behaves more like bulk aluminum, but diminishes
the ATR e ect How to fix it?
Thicker aluminum layer behaves more like bulk aluminum, but diminishes
the ATR e ect How to fix it? The evanescent waves evanesce before they reach the top
You have to be crazy to do it, but: the
Otto configuration How to fix it?
Crazy? Relative size of a dust particle, 20 µm Gap
size, 1 µm
Luckily, that problem is solvable How to fix it? ŚŝŐŚͲŝŶĚĞdžĚŝĞůĞĐƚƌŝĐ
