Photonic hook plasmons: a new curved surface wave

Optics 2018-12-26 v1

Abstract

It ia well-known that surface plasmon wave propagates along a straight line, but this common sense was broken by the artificial curved light - plasmon Airy beam. In this paper we introduce a new class of curved surface plasmon wave - the photonic hook plasmon. It propagates along wavelength scaled curved trajectory with radius less than surface plasmon polariton wavelength, and can exist despite the strong energy dissipation at the metal surface.
