Leakage radiation microscopy of surface plasmons launched by a nanodiamond-based tip
arXiv:1106.2344 · doi:10.1016/j.diamond.2011.05.012
Abstract
Leakage-radiation microscopy of a thin gold film demonstrates the ability of an ensemble of fluorescent diamond nanoparticles attached onto the apex of an optical tip to serve as an efficient near-field surface-plasmon polariton launcher. The implementation of the nanodiamond-based tip in a near-field scanning optical microscope will allow for an accurate control on the launching position, thereby opening the way to scanning plasmonics.
