Fig. 5: Design of plasmonic nanostructures.
From: Observation of the modification of quantum statistics of plasmonic systems
The design of our plasmonic sample is shown in (a). The wavelength-dependent far-field interference pattern as a function of the diffraction angle is shown in (b). In this case, the structure is illuminated with vertically-polarized photons and no plasmonic near fields are excited. The figure in (c) shows a modified interference structure due to the presence of plasmonic near fields. In this case, the illuminated photons are polarized along the horizontal direction.
