Polarization-Controlled Tunable Directional Coupling of Surface Plasmon Polaritons
Abstract
Controlling Light Propagation: Surface plasmons are light-induced collective electronic excitations in a metal that offer the possibility of manufacturing optoelectronic devices at nanometer scale. Before such shrinking can be achieved, the propagation direction and lifetime of the plasmonic excitations have to be controlled (see the Perspective by Miroshnichenko and Kivshar ). Rodríguez-Fortuño et al. (p. 328 ) show how this is done using polarized light. Alternatively, using an array of metallic nanoantennae (in this case, slits) patterned into a thin gold film, Lin et al. (p. 331 ) present a further improvement on current plasmonic coupling schemes that has the potential to encode information contained in both the intensity and polarization of light.

The transverse spin of an evanescent wave is independent of the polarization parameters and can be written in a universal vector form.
“Taking into account both electric- and magnetic-field contributions, it turns out that the transverse spin is independent of the polarization parameters and can be written in a universal vector form: 54,55”

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.
