Imaging Chladni Figure of Plasmonic Charge DensityWave in Real Space
2019
The future photonic
age largely depends on our ability to manipulate
optical waves in confined systems. Particularly, understanding the
behavior of a plasmonic charge density wave (p-CDW) in optical resonators
is vital for engineering 2D plasmonic devices. In this study, the
standing p-CDW on the surface of a gold triangle resonator is examined
through diffraction limited all-optical far field power loss microscopy.
The scattering light map captured by this microscopy, named plasmonic
Chladni figure, is directly proportional to the entire in-plane photonic
local density of state. The theoretical model of the plasmonic Chladni
figure proposed in this study is related to the 2D standing p-CDW
node pattern, which is similar to the mechanical Chladni, but follows
a special node selection rule. Investigating the plasmonic Chladni
phenomenon provides an in-depth understanding of fundamental plasmonic
physics and plasmonic chemistry and presents various possibilities
for plasmonic application, such as 2D dimensional SPP waveguide, plasmonic
computing, hot electron based chemistry, light energy harvest, and
so on.
