Spin-controlled directional launching of surface plasmons at the subwavelength scale |
(a) Schematic diagram of our proposed structure. (b) and (c) FDTD simulation of the near-field intensity (arbitrary units), calculated from the structure under the LCP and RCP illuminations, respectively. In these pictures, LCP stands for left-handed circularly polarized light, and RCP stands for right-handed circularly polarized light. |
