Abstract

In the field of nanophotonics, tuning the focus of near-field signals has been a great issue due to the demands on near-field imaging for, e.g., biomedical sensors and plasmonic tweezers. Using subwavelength structures for active control of plasmonic systems would be highly desirable. Here, we propose a plasmonic meta-slit, a simple but powerful structure that can switch the direction and length of its focus by changing optical polarization. It is composed of single or double arrays of nanoslit segments with a specific tilted angle distribution for a strong and flexible polarization dependency. Three representative examples of meta-slits for polarization-sensitive focusing, directional switching, and asymmetric focusing are theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. We expect that the proposed scheme can be applied not only to plasmonic switches and tunable lenses, but also as a design method for shaping near-field signals.

Fig. 2. (a) Angular distribution of propagating SPPs excited from a 300     nm × 75     nm single nanoslit for the incident polarizations of perpendicular (blue) and parallel (red) to the longer axis. (b) Normalized overlap integral between the E z field excited from an array of tilted nanoslits and that of a bare slit when a left-handed circular polarized light is incident. The field integration was calculated along the y direction at a distance of 20 μm from the slit along the x direction. Insets show the distribution of the E z field at P y = 450     nm (upper), 1.75 μm (lower-left), and 3.2 μm (lower-right), respectively. (c), (d) Changes in amplitude and phase of SPPs generated by the nanoslit array for circularly polarized light incidences varying the tilted angles of nanoslits. Amplitude profiles are independent of optical handedness. The incident wavelength is set to λ 0 = 980     nm , and the relative permittivity of Ag is ε Ag = − 43.9 + 2.8 i [31].
