Lateral manipulation of surface plasmons by hollow structures — •Michael Lutz, Stephen Riedel, Paul Leiderer, and Johannes Boneberg — Universität Konstanz

A frequency doubled Nd:YAG pulse (10ns,532nm) is splitted into three beams of equal intensity. The beams are recombined on a thin gold-film under specific angles which define the periodicity of the resulting interference pattern. We observe the formation of hollow structures with diameters between few microns and few hundred nanometers.

The structures originate from thermal expansion upon melting of the surface which occurs only in regions of high intensity. This generates a shift of the centre of mass off the surface. The motion of the centre of mass causes the liquid lamella to lift off. After resolidification a nanostructured surface with hollow bumps has formed.

We show how these structures can be used to manipulate surface plasmons laterally.
