Experimental Confirmation of Miniature Spiral Plasmonic Lens as a Circular Polarization Analyzer

Chen, Weibin, Abeysinghe, Don C., Nelson, Robert L., Zhan, Qiwen·2010·Nano Letters

Abstract

A spiral plasmonic lens can focus circular polarization of a given handedness while simultaneously defocus the circular polarization of the opposite chirality, which may be used as a miniature circular polarization analyzer. In this letter, we experimentally investigated the plasmonic focusing properties of the spiral lens using a collection mode near-field scanning optical microscope. A single Archimedes' spiral slot with a single turn was etched through gold thin film as a spiral plasmonic lens. The plasmonic field at the focus of a spiral lens strongly depends on the spin of the incident photon. Circular polarization extinction ratio better than 50 is obtainable with a device size as small as only 4 times of surface plasmon wavelength.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
