Plasmon propagation in structural and dieletric controlled gold films probed by phase-resolved PEEM — •Christoph Lemke1, Till Leißner1, Christian Schneider2, Martin Aeschlimann2, and Michael Bauer1 — 1Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Universität Kiel — 2Fachbereich Physik, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern
In a phase-resolved photoemission electron microscopy experiment, the near field associated with propagating surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) can be locally sensed via interference with the excitation laser field [1]. Here we apply this technique to monitor and analyze SPP propagation in gold films where the plasmonic response is controlled by structural design via e-beam lithography as well as by dielectric loading. Phase resolved simulations based on Huygens principle allow us to reconstruct SPP properties such as group velocity, damping, direction of propagation.
