Abstract: | Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) manipulation on metal surfaces is important for constructing ultracompact integrated micro/nano-optical devices and systems. We employ the methodology of surface electromagnetic wave holography (SWH) to design holographic groove patterns for controlling SPPs with complicated wavefronts traveling on metal surface. SPPs are scattered by these deli groove patterns and interfere with each other to form desired SPP wavefronts. Several devices are demonstrated to control the intensities and phases of SPPs, such as focusing a plane SPP or diverging SPPs to two points with different phases, and focusing SPPs with complicated beam profile to a point. The finite-difference time-domain simulations show that in all cases, the predesignated functionalities are fully achieved by the designed plasmonic holographic structures. The results strongly support the power of SWH for shaping the complicated wavefront of in-plane transporting SPPs. |
