Nanoscale chemical mapping using three-dimensional adiabatic compression of surface plasmon polaritons

Abstract: The fields of plasmonics, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy have recently undergone considerable development, but independently of one another. By combining these techniques, a range of complementary information could be simultaneously obtained at a single molecule level. Here, we report the design, fabrication and application of a photonic-plasmonic device that is fully compatible with atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Our approach relies on the generation and localization of surfac… Show more

“…As a result, SPPs can be focused beyond the diffraction limit in three dimensions on a sub-wavelength spot, with drastically enhanced optical intensity [12][13][14] . The effect of SPP adiabatic nanofocusing has been confirmed, studied and also tested for nanometre-scale microscopy in a series of earlier experiments [15][16][17][18][19] .In our investigation, this intriguing phenomenon of SPP adiabatic nanofocusing is used to generate ultrashort extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pulses directly from near-infrared (NIR) pulses. As depicted in Fig.…”

“…Without loss of generality we choose to work around 740 nm, which corresponds to an optimal base radius of 195 nm. The tip has a radius of curvature of 5 nm, which is a realistic value for state of the art nanofabrication [36]. If not otherwise stated, the FDTD mesh has a discretization of 1 nm.…”

“…This light source with arbitrary waveform control at the nanoscale is of a fundamentally new quality compared to both conventional far-and near-field sources. It allows for the systematic extension of near background-free scanning probe microscopy [22,26,30] to the nanoscale implementation of many forms of nonlinear and ultrafast spectroscopies for spatio-temporal imaging [31].…”
