Spatial Resolved Near Field Interference on Nanooptical Bowtie Antennas — •Pascal Melchior, Daniela Bayer, Christian Schneider, Martin Rohmer, Alexander Fischer, and Martin Aeschlimann — Fachbereich Physik and Research Center OPTIMAS, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Erwin-Schrödinger-Str. 46, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany

The response of metallic nanostructures is responsible for interference effects of the electric near field in the vicinity of the structure surface. While the incoming electric field vectors are independent in the far field, spectral interference in the near field can occur since the resulting field vectors are not necessarily perpendicular. On the nanostructure configuration of a Bowtie antenna, we show how the superposition of different plasmonic excitation modes leads to a local enhancement of the effective near field depending on the phase relation between the incoming electric field vectors. Via an interferometric superposition of two laser pulses with cross polarized electric fields the near field interference can be directly observed by means of a photoemission electron microscope (PEEM). Spatial switching of the photoemission yield depending on the relative phase between the two superposed laser pulses will be demonstrated.
