Design of a plasmonic near-field tip for super-resolution IR-imaging

Optics 2016-05-16 v1

Abstract

The concepts of spoof surface plasmon polaritons and adiabatic field compression are employed to design metallic near-field probes that allow guiding and focusing of mid-infrared wavelength electromagnetic radiation and provides subwavelength field confinements and a lateral optical resolution of about 10 nm.
