Mapping bound plasmon propagation on a nanoscale stripe waveguide using quantum dots: influence of spacer layer thickness
In this paper we image the highly confined long range plasmons of a nanoscale metal stripe waveguide using quantum emitters.Plasmons were excited using a highly Computer Speakers focused 633 nm laser beam and a specially designed grating structure to provide stronger incoupling to the desired mode.A homogeneous thin layer of quantum dots was used t
