Near-field characterization of Bloch surface waves based 2D optical components

Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electromagnetic modes that propagate at the interface between a multilayer substrate and a homogeneous external medium. The optical field of the surface mode is confined near the surface of the multilayer. This vertic ...

Periodicity-Induced Symmetry Breaking in a Fano Lattice: Hybridization and Tight-Binding Regimes

Olivier Martin, Chen Yan

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the role of periodicity on the optical response of dolmen plasmonic arrays that exhibit a Fano line shape. Contrary to previous works on single nanostructures, this study deals with the in-plane near-field co ...
