This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The control of optical modes in microcavities or in photonic bandgap (PBG) materials is coming of age! Although these ideas could have been developed some time ago, it is only recently that they have emerged, due to advances in both atomic physics and in fabrication techniques, be it on the high-quality dielectric mirrors required for high-finesse Fabry Perot resonators or in semiconductor multilayer deposition methods. Initially the principles of quantum electro-dynamics (QED) were demonstrated in elegant atomic physics experiments. Now solid-state implementations are being investigated, with several subtle differences from the atomic case such as those due to their continuum of electronic states or the near Boson nature of their elementary excitations, the exciton. Research into quantum optics brings us ever newer concepts with potential to improve system performance such as photon squeezing, quantum cryptography, reversible taps, photonic de Broglie waves and quantum computers. The possibility of implementing these ideas with solid-state systems gives us hope that some could indeed find their way to the market, demonstrating the continuing importance of basic research for applications, be it in a somewhat more focused way than in earlier times for funding.
Download or read book Near Field Optics written by D.W. Pohl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM, also known as NSOM) is a new local probe technique with a resolving power of 10--50 nm. Not being limited by diffraction, near-field optics (NFO) opens new perspectives for optical characterization and the understanding of optical phenomena, in particular in biology, microelectronics and materials science. SNOM, after first demonstrations in '83/'84, has undergone a rapid development in the past two to four years. The increased interest has been largely stimulated by the wealth of optical properties that can be investigated and the growing importance of characterization on the nanometer scale in general. Examples include the use of fluorescence, birefrigence and plasmon effects for applications in particular in biology, microelectronics and materials science, to name just a few. This volume emerged from the first international meeting devoted exclusively to NFO, and comprises a complete survey of the 1992 activities in the field, in particular the variety of instrumental techniques that are currently being explored, the demonstration of the imaging capabilities as well as theoretical interpretations - a highly nontrivial task. The comprehensive collection of papers devoted to these and related subjects make the book a valuable tool for anybody interested in near-field optics.

Download or read book Guiding of electromagnetic energy in subwavelength periodic metal structures written by Stefan Maier and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2003-04-07 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The ultimate miniaturization of optical devices requires structures that guide electromagnetic energy with a lateral confinement below the diffraction limit of light. In this thesis, the possibility of employing plasmon-polariton excitations in plasmon waveguides consisting of closely spaced metal nanoclusters for this purpose is examined. The feasibility of energy transport with mode sizes below the diffraction limit of visible light over distances of several hundred nanometers is demonstrated. As a macroscopic analogue to plasmon waveguides, the transport of electromagnetic energy in the microwave regime along closely spaced centimeter-scale metal rods is examined. Full-field electrodynamic simulations show that information transport occurs at a group velocity of 0.65c for fabricated structures consisting of copper rods excited at 8 GHz. A variety of passive routing structures and an all-optical modulator are demonstrated. The possibility of guiding electromagnetic energy at visible frequencies with mode sizes below the diffraction limit using plasmon waveguides is analyzed using a point-dipole model and finite-difference time-domain simulations. It is shown that energy transport occurs via near-field coupling between metal nanoparticles, which leads to coherent propagation of energy. For spherical gold particles in air, group velocities up to 0.06c are demonstrated, and a change in particle shape to spheroidal particles shows up to a threefold increase in group velocity. Pulses with transverse polarization are shown to propagate with negative phase velocities antiparallel to the energy flow. Plasmon waveguides consisting of gold and silver nanoparticles were fabricated using electron beam lithography. The key parameters that govern the energy transport are determined for various interparticle spacings and particle chain lengths using far-field measurements of the collective plasmon modes. Spherical gold nanoparticles with a diameter of 50 nm and an interparticle spacing of 75 nm show an energy attenuation of 6 dB/30 nm. This loss can be reduced by one order of magnitude by a geometry change to spheroidal particles. Using the tip of a near-field optical microscope as a local excitation source and fluorescent nanospheres as detectors, experimental evidence for energy transport over a distance of 0.5 μm is presented for plasmon waveguides consisting of silver rods with a 3:1 aspect ratio.
