Nanobump structures are fabricated on the gold thin film by femtosecond laser direct writing (fs-LDW) technique. The height and diameter of the gold nanobump are about 30nm, and 400 nm, respectively. The scattering light of surface plasmon wave radiated from a nanobump is observed using a total internal reflection microscopy. A quarter-circle structure composed of nanobumps is designed and produced to manipulate scattering light into specific pattern: The focusing and diverging of the quarter circular structure in three dimensional space are demonstrated. The polarization properties of focusing spot are also examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
