Theory of Surface Plasmon Generation at Nanoslit Apertures
Open accessAbstract
In this Letter, we study the scattering of light by a single subwavelength slit in a metal screen. In contrast with previous theoretical works, we provide a microscopic description of the scattering process by emphasizing the generation of surface plasmons at the slit apertures. The analysis is supported by a rigorous formalism based on a normal-mode-decomposition technique and by a semianalytical model that provides accurate formulas for the plasmonic generation strengths. The generation is shown to be fairly efficient for metals with a low conductivity, such as gold in the visible regime. Verification of the theory is also shown by comparison with recent experimental data [H. F. Schouten, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 053901 (2005)].

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.
