Generation of Flat Top Surface Plasmon Polariton Beams by Near Field Holography

Controlling the shape and trajectory of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) beams is the key to all SPP-based applications. In this paper, a novel plasmonic device that can generate in-plane flat top SPP beams is designed by near field holography. The relationship between the transverse profile inte...

Sumario:Controlling the shape and trajectory of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) beams is the key to all SPP-based applications. In this paper, a novel plasmonic device that can generate in-plane flat top SPP beams is designed by near field holography. The relationship between the transverse profile intensity of the generated flat top SPP beams and the structural parameters of the designed device is analyzed. The results of this paper can provide the possibility for further practical application utilizing flat top SPP beams.
