  4. 18. Planar Plasmonic Devices for Controlling Polarization of Light

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Kunli Xiong; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Planar nanostructures made of noble metal can efficiently control transmission of light, thanks to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) mediated through interaction between such a structure and incoming light. In this thesis, we numerically characterize, with a 3D finiteelement method, three types of plasmonic devices: plasmonic radial/azimuthal filter, plasmonic quarter-wave plate made of a periodic array of round holes in a thin metallic film, and a plasmonic quarter-wave plate with a periodic array of cross-shaped apertures.
