“…in-plane momentum) space [6]. It has been successfully applied to the study of several plasmonic devices such as planar lenses and wave-guides, nano-holes and slits, interferometers and photonic crystals [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], where it is complementary to near-field scanning optical methods [1,17,18] and scanning tunneling electron microscopy (STM) [19,20]. Due to its high sensitivity LRM constitutes an ideal approach for optical metrology in the Fourier space of phenomena such as spin-Hall effect, SPP mode steering, and negative refraction [21,22].…”

[7,18,20,25] is to consider the electromagnetic field generated by a point-like dipole located in the vicinity of a metal film using the Green dyadic formalism [2] and the transfer matrix method. However, a good understanding of LRM requires to take rigorously into account the properties of high numerical aperture objectives needed for imaging the SPP fields.…”

*We study theoretically and experimentally coherent imaging of surface plasmon polaritons using either leakage radiation microscopy through a thin metal film or interference microscopy through a thick metal film. Using a rigorous modal formalism based on scalar Whittaker potentials we develop a systematic analytical and vectorial method adapted to the analysis of coherent imaging involving surface plasmon polaritons. The study includes geometrical aberrations due index mismatch which played an important role in the interpretation of recent experiments using leakage radiation microscopy. We compare our theory with experiments using classical or quantum near-field scanning optical microscopy probes and show that the approach leads to a full interpretation of the recorded optical images.

“…Some SPP dispersing elements have been demonstrated, such as the overlapping bull's eye structure, 17 metal-insulator-metal resonator 18 and SPP crystal structures for splitting SPPs of different wavelengths into different directions. 19,20 However, a practical plasmonic demultiplexer needs to disperse multiple-channel data streams at different wavelengths spatially and focus them into various SPP wavelength components. In this work, we propose a plasmonic demultiplexer that can implement light-SPP coupling, effective dispersion, and multiple-channel SPP guiding.…”

“…As key factors in these plasmonic nanostructures, coupled resonators will be principal elements due to their simplicity, symmetry, and ease of fabrication. Wavelength demultiplexers (WDMs), which can filter specific wavelengths in different channels, will play very important role in the all-optical systems [36]. Based on MIM coupled resonators, some WDM structures were proposed [37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Plasmonic waveguides that allow deeply subwavelength confinement of light provide an effective platform for the design of ultracompact photonic devices. As an important plasmonic waveguide, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure supports the propagation of light in the nanoscale regime at the visible and near-infrared ranges. Here, we focus on our work in MIM plasmonic waveguide devices for manipulating light, and review some of the recent development of this topic. We introduce MIM plasmonic wavelength filtering and demultiplexing devices, and present the electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT)-like and Fano resonance effects in MIM waveguide systems. The slow-light and rainbow trapping effects are demonstrated theoretically. These results pave a way toward dynamic control of the special and useful optical responses, which actualize some new plasmonic waveguide-integrated devices such as nanoscale filters, demultiplexers, sensors, slow light waveguides, and buffers. for SPP propagation. The unique features of MIM waveguides can be utilized to realize nanoscale photonic functionality and circuitry [11]. In this review, we mainly focus on our research about the manipulating properties in the MIM plasmonic waveguides. Due to the limit of this small topic, an amount of research in the plasmonic field will be omitted, for example, the important applications of SPPs for the enhancement of nonlinear effects [12], beam focusing [13,14], polarization analyzer [15], optical amplifier [16], and so on. We review some recent development of MIM plasmonic waveguide devices. Especially, plasmonic wavelength filtering and demultiplexing have been introduced. The analogue of electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) and Fano resonances and their applications are presented in the MIM plasmonic waveguide systems. The slow light and rainbow trapping in the MIM waveguides are demonstrated. These results may provide some useful information for attracting researchers' interests in further investigation of the control of light and its applications in the plasmonic waveguides.
