Abstract

The transient behaviors of the dipole coupling with surface plasmon (SP) features in an Ag/dielectric-interface grating structure in order to understand the characteristics of those dipole-coupling features are demonstrated. In particular, the major decay mechanisms of those coupling features can be identified. For comparison, the time-resolved behaviors of the resonant surface plasmon polariton (SPP) coupling feature on a flat interface are also illustrated. Among the three major grating-induced SP-dipole coupling features, two of them are identified to be localized surface plasmons (LSPs). The third one is a grating-assisted SPP, which shows two decay components, corresponding to the first stage of SPP in-plane propagation and the second stage of coupling system decay. In all the dipole coupling features, metal dissipation can dominate the energy relaxation process, depending on the assumption of damping factor. All the dissipation rates are proportional to the assumed damping factor in the Drude model of the metal. The dissipation rates of the LSP and resonant SPP features are about the same as the damping rate, implying their local electron oscillation natures. The dissipation rate of the grating-assisted SSP feature is consistent with theoretical calculation. In the LSP features under study, dielectric-side emission is prominent. The coupled energy in the grating-assisted SPP feature can be efficiently stored in the coupling system due to its low emission efficiency and effective energy confinement through grating diffraction.

(a) Two-dimensional Ag/dielectric grating structure in the x-y plane. The dipole, Jx, is located 10 nm right below the center of a grating groove, which is defined as the origin, O, of the coordinate system. The flat interface structure is depicted by the dotted line along the x axis. (b) The dipole radiation power spectrum (continuous curve), the dielectric-side emission spectrum of the SP-dipole coupling system (dashed curve), the radiation power spectrum of the control case (dotted line near the bottom), and three source spectra (dashed Gaussian-like curves) for the three SP-dipole coupling features (A-C) in the grating structure. (c) The dipole radiation power spectrum (continuous curve), the dielectric-side emission spectrum of the SP-dipole coupling system (dashed curve), and the source spectrum (dashed Gaussian-like curve) for the SP-dipole coupling feature D in the flat-interface structure.

Comparison of the spectra of in-plane propagation energy with the dielectric-side emission spectra in the case of γ = γ 0. The label (x) means the energy propagation along the +x and −x directions. The label (-y) implies dielectric-side emission. (a) In-plane propagation evaluated at x = +100 and -100 nm; (b) in-plane propagation evaluated at x = +500 and -500 nm.
