Vectorial near-field coupling
Martin Esmann, Simon F. Becker, Julia Witt +3
The coherent exchange of optical near fields between two neighboring dipoles plays an essential role for the optical properties, quantum dynamics and thus for the function of many…
Bridging Microscopic Nonlinear Polarizations toward Far-Field Second Harmonic Radiation
Kyungwan Yoo, Simon F. Becker, Martin Silies +3
Since the first observation of second harmonic generation (SHG), there have been extensive studies on this nonlinear phenomenon not only to clarify its physical origin but also to…
Wave front adaptation using a deformable mirror for adiabatic nanofocusing along an ultrasharp gold taper
Slawa Schmidt, Pascal Engelke, Bjoern Piglosiewicz +6
We describe and demonstrate the use of an adaptive wave front optimization scheme for enhancing the efficiency of adiabatic nanofocusing of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves al…
k-space Imaging of the Eigenmodes of Sharp Gold Tapers for Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy
Martin Esmann, Simon F. Becker, Bernard B. da Cunha +4
We investigate the radiation patterns of sharp conical gold tapers, designed as adiabatic nanofocusing probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Field calculations…
