Abstract

Surface plasmon polaritons are commonly believed to be a future basis for the next generation of optoelectronic and all-optical devices. To achieve this, it is critical that the surface plasmon polariton modes be strongly confined to the surface and have a sufficiently long propagation length and a nanosize wavelength. As of today, in the visible part of the spectrum, these conditions are not satisfied for any type of surface plasmon polaritons. In this paper, we demonstrate that in the ultraviolet range, surface plasmon polaritons propagating along a periodically nanostructured aluminum-dielectric interface have all these properties. Both the confinement length and the wavelength of the mode considered are smaller than the period of the structure, which can be as small as 10 nm. At the same time, the propagation length of new surface plasmon-polaritons can reach dozens of its wavelengths. These plasmon polaritons can be observed in materials that are uncommon in plasmonics such as aluminum. The suggested modes can be used for miniaturization of optical devices.

Figures (8)
Fig. 1
Fig. 1 The dispersion curves (a) and the parametric dependence of the transverse confinement length δ(ω) on the propagation length l pr (ω) (b) for different topologies that support SPPs. In insets of Fig. 1(a), the frequency units are eV. For details, see Table 1. In Fig. 1(b), points C i correspond to the boundary of the visible and IR regions assumed to be 780 nm (1.6 eV); in Fig. 1(a), this boundary is shown by the yellow line; segments A i C i correspond to the visible region. In the manuscript, for numerical calculations, we assume that the dielectric is vacuum with ε d =1.

Fig. 3 The dispersion curves of the SPP on the nanostructured surface for various modulation amplitudes h. The period of the modulation is 10 nm. The dielectric permittivity of metal assumed to be equal to the permittivity of aluminum taken from Ref [12]. The dash-dotted purple line corresponds to ω/ ω pl =0.73 at which Re ε m =− ε d ( ω pl is the plasma frequency).

Fig. 4
Fig. 4 The dispersion curves of the SPP on an aluminum surface calculated without (a) and with (b) taking loss into account. The dispersion curve of the SPP on flat and nanostructured surfaces are shown by blue and red lines, respectively. The structure parameters are h = 5 nm and a = 10 nm. Orange lines show boundaries of the light cone, the dash-dotted purple line corresponds to ω/ ω pl =0.73. Re ε m =− ε d for the frequency ω=0.73 ω pl . In this figure, the line numbering is the same as in Fig. 1.
