We show how, in the limit in which these basic circuit elements are closely packed together, NTLs can be regarded as stacks of plasmonic and nonplasmonic planar slabs, which may be designed to effectively exhibit the properties of planar metamaterials with forward (right-handed) or backward (left-handed) operation. With the proper design, negative refraction and left-handed propagation are shown to be possible in these planar plasmonic guided-wave structures, providing possibilities for subwavelength focusing and imaging in planar optics and laterally confined waveguiding at IR and visible frequencies. The effective material parameters for such NTLs are derived, and the connection and analogy between these optical NTLs and the double-negative and double-positive metamaterials are also explored. Physical insights and justification for the results are also presented.

Unlike other cloaking approaches(4-6), which are typically limited to subwavelength objects, the transformation method allows the design of cloaking devices that render a macroscopic object invisible. In addition, the design is not sensitive to the object that is being cloaked. The first experimental demonstration of such a cloak at microwave frequencies was recently reported(7). We note, however, that that design(7) cannot be implemented for an optical cloak, which is certainly of particular interest because optical frequencies are where the word `invisibility' is conventionally defined. Here we present the design of a non-magnetic cloak operating at optical frequencies. The principle and structure of the proposed cylindrical cloak are analysed, and the general recipe for the implementation of such a device is provided.}}, address = {{MACMILLAN BUILDING, 4 CRINAN ST, LONDON N1 9XW, ENGLAND}}, affiliation = {{Cai, WS (Reprint Author), Purdue Univ, Sch Elect \& Comp Engn, W Lafayette, IN 47907 USA.

As in conventional planar insulator-metal-insulator (IMI) surface plasmon waveguides, analytic dispersion results indicate a splitting of plasmon modes-corresponding to symmetric and antisymmetric electric field distributions-as SiO2 core thickness is decreased below 100 nm. However, unlike IMI structures, surface plasmon momentum of the symmetric mode does not always exceed photon momentum, with thicker films (d similar to 50 nm) achieving effective indices as low as n=0.15. In addition, antisymmetric mode dispersion exhibits a cutoff for films thinner than d=20 nm, terminating at least 0.25 eV below resonance. From visible to near infrared wavelengths, plasmon propagation exceeds tens of microns with fields confined to within 20 nm of the structure. As the SiO2 core thickness is increased, propagation distances also increase with localization remaining constant. Conventional waveguiding modes of the structure are not observed until the core thickness approaches 100 nm. At such thicknesses, both transverse magnetic and transverse electric modes can be observed. Interestingly, for nonpropagating modes (i.e., modes where propagation does not exceed the micron scale), considerable field enhancement in the waveguide core is observed, rivaling the intensities reported in resonantly excited metallic nanoparticle waveguides.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.73.035407}, issn = {1098-0121}, keywords = {enhanced raman-scattering, surface-plasmons, metal-films, thin, biosensors}, owner = {jen}, publisher = {American Physical Soc, One Physics Ellipse, College Pk, Md 20740-3844 USA}, timestamp = {2008.08.31} } @ARTICLE{Dionne2005, author = {J.

Rather than considering Ag as a damped free electron gas, the metal is defined by the experimentally determined optical constants of Johnson and Christy and Palik. As in free electron gas models, analytic dispersion results indicate a splitting of plasmon modes-corresponding to symmetric and antisymmetric field distributions-as film thickness is decreased below 50 nm. However, unlike free electron gas models, the surface plasmon wave vector remains finite at resonance with the antisymmetric-field plasmon converging to a pure photon mode for very thin films. In addition, allowed excitation modes are found to exist between the bound and radiative branches of the dispersion curve. The propagation characteristics of all modes are determined, and for thin films (depending upon electric field symmetry), propagation distances range from microns to centimeters in the near infrared. Propagation distances are correlated with both the field decay (skin depth) and energy density distribution in the metal and surrounding dielectric. While the energy density of most long-range surface plasmons exhibits a broad spatial extent with limited confinement in the waveguide, it is found that high-field confinement does not necessarily limit propagation. In fact, enhanced propagation is observed for silver films at ultraviolet wavelengths despite strong field localization in the metal. The surface plasmon characteristics described in this paper provide a numerical springboard for engineering nanoscale metal plasmon waveguides, and the results may provide a new avenue for integrated optoelectronic applications.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.72.075405}, issn = {1098-0121}, keywords = {slab including retardation, surface-plasmons, finite-width, aluminum films, optical modes, thin, region, scattering, vibration, ag}, owner = {jen}, publisher = {American Physical Soc, One Physics Ellipse, College Pk, Md 20740-3844 USA}, timestamp = {2008.08.31} } @BOOK{Ditchburn, title = {Light}, publisher = {Dover}, year = {1961}, author = {Ditchburn, R.W.}, address = {New York} } @ARTICLE{DitlbacherDiode2006, author = {Ditlbacher, H. and Aussenegg, F.

Many studies have interpreted the optical coupling to the surface in terms of the resonant excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), but other approaches involving composite diffraction of surface evanescent waves (CIDEW) have also been proposed. Here we present a series of measurements on very simple one-dimensional subwavelength structures to test the key properties of the surface waves, and compare them to the CDEW and SPP models. We find that the optical response of the silver metal surface proceeds in two steps: a diffractive perturbation in the immediate vicinity (2-3 mu m) of the structure, followed by excitation of a persistent surface wave that propagates over tens of micrometres.

Overall and salient features of the role of the gap widths on the guided propagation characteristics are clearly understood by investigating several dispersion curves of varied gap widths. Cutoff frequency downshifts of the dispersive plasmonic gap compared with the perfect electric conductor based parallel plate waveguides are also observed.

Variation of the structure parameters allows continuous tuning of these high-transmission bands across the particle-plasmon resonance.}, issn = {0031-9007}, keywords = {optical-properties, surface, particles, gratings}, owner = {jen}, publisher = {American Physical Soc, One Physics Ellipse, College Pk, Md 20740-3844 USA}, timestamp = {2008.09.01} } @ARTICLE{Liu04Nat, author = {Liu, A.

Together with the quality factor Q of the cavity resonance, this enables a comparison with dielectric optical cavities, where V eff is limited by diffraction. For a Fabry-Perot type planar metallic cavity, a one-dimensional analytic model as well as a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulation reveal that V eff is not bounded by diffraction, and that Q/V eff increases for decreasing cavity size. In this picture, matter-plasmon interactions can be quantified in terms of Q and V eff, and a resonant cavity model for the enhancement of spontaneous Raman scattering is presented. © Springer 2006.}, doi = {10.1007/s11082-006-0024-7}, issn = {0306-8919}, keywords = {Electromagnetic waves - Elementary particles - Electric excitation - Resonance, Nanophotonics - Surface plasmon polaritons - Resonant cavity model}, owner = {jen}, timestamp = {2008.09.01} } @ARTICLE{Mai05CurNano, author = {Maier, S.

PRPs are readily observed individually with a microscope configured for dark-field microscopy, with white-light illumination of typical power. Here we illustrate the use of PRPs, surface coated with standard ligands, as target-specific labels in an in situ hybridization and an immunocytology assay. We propose that PRPs can replace or complement established labels, such as those based on radioactivity, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, or enzymatic/colorimetric detection that are used routinely in biochemistry, cell biology, and medical diagnostic applications. Moreover, because PRP labels are non- bleaching and bright enough to be rapidly identified and counted, an ultrasensitive assay format based on single-target molecule detection is now practical.

We also describe elements that perform magnification, free from geometric aberrations, even while providing free-space working distance on both the input and output sides. These magnifying elements also operate in the near- and far-field, allowing them to transfer near field information into the far field, as with the hyper lens and other related devices, however in contrast to those devices, insertion loss can be much lower, due to the matching properties accessible with transformation design.

These materials do not exist in nature and can only be fabricated artificially; for this reason, they are called meta materials. Their unique properties are not determined by the fundamental physical properties of their constituents, but rather by the shape and distribution of the specific patterns included in them. Metamaterials can be designed to exhibit both electric and magnetic resonances that can be separately tuned to occur in frequency bands from megahertz to terahertz frequencies, and hopefully to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This article presents a short history of the field, describes the underlying physics, and reviews the experimental and theoretical status of the field at present. Many interesting questions on how to fabricate more Isotropic LHMs, on how to push the operational frequency to optical wavelengths, how to reduce the losses, and how to incorporate active or nonlinear materials in LHMs remain to be explored further. © 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.

We show that. if the width of the metal stripe is about a few micrometers, a strong coupling with the stripe modes can be achieved at visible frequencies. A sharp transverse confinement of the field associated with the surface plasmon modes propagating on the metal stripe is unambiguously observed on the constant height photon scanning tunneling microscope images. The back-reflection of these modes at the end of the stripe leads to a surface-wave interference pattern from which the wavelength of the stripe surface plasmon modes is directly measured. We finally demonstrate that metal stripes could be used for optical addressing put-poses at the micrometer scale since a stripe with a triangularly shaped termination performs the focusing of the stripe surface plasmon field.}, issn = {0163-1829}, keywords = {finite-width, scattering, reflection, microscope, defect, modes, film, zone}, publisher = {American Physical Soc, One Physics Ellipse, College Pk, Md 20740-3844 USA}, timestamp = {2008.09.02} } @ARTICLE{Wei04NL, author = {Wei, Q.
