Plasmonic wave plate based on subwavelength nanoslits

Abstract

We propose a quarter-wave plate based on nanoslits and analyze it using a semianalytical theory and simulations. The device comprises two nanoslits arranged perpendicular to one another where the phases of the fields transmitted by the nanoslits differ by λ/4. In this way, the polarization state of the incident light can be changed from linear to circular or vice versa. The plasmonic nanoslit wave plate is thin and has a subwavelength lateral extent. We show that the predictions for the phase shift obtained from a semianalytical model are in very good agreement with simulations by the finite difference time domain method.
