Directional excitation of surface plasmon using multi-mode interference in an aperture

Abstract Plasmonics is a promising technology that can find many applications in nanophotonics and biosensing. Local excitation of surface plasmons with high directionality is required for many of these applications. We demonstrate that by controlling the interference of light in a metal slot with t...
