Properties of Surface Plasmon Polaritons Excited by Higher-Order Radially Polarized Laser Beams
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 5, No 4 (2016) pp. 47-54
Abstract
Properties of surface Plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited by generalized radially polarized higher-order transverse mode beam in high-numerical-aperture microscopic system is investigated theoretically based on vector diffraction theory. A variety of total field distributions such as virtual probe, flat-topped pattern, and doughnut can dynamically be obtained through properly selecting suitable transverse mode and pupil to beam ratio of different mode beams.
