Wavelength squeeze of surface plasmon polariton in a subwavelength metal slit

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

One of the keys to understanding the extraordinary optical transmission in a subwavelength metal slit is in what field mode is excited. We find that, compared to the usual surface plasmon polariton (SPP), the wavelength of the excited mode is squeezed and will become smaller as the slit width does. This mode is called an in-slit SPP. We show how the wavelength of this mode can be solved by a formula and clearly analyze the physical reason for the wavelength squeeze. Furthermore, the similarities and differences of the wavelength squeeze between normal incidence and oblique incidence are pointed out.
