Low-diffraction beaming in plasmonic crystals

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We analyze the propagation of electromagnetic modes guided by periodic plasmonic structures. We use full-wave solutions of Maxwell equations to calculate dispersion of these modes and derive analytical description of their optical properties. Finally, we demonstrate that, at a certain frequency range that can be controlled by the geometry, diffraction of these guided states is strongly suppressed, leading to formation of low-diffraction beams. A beaming phenomenon, consistent with earlier experiments, can be used as the foundation for on-chip communication or microscopy.
