Surface Plasmon Excitation and Localization by Metal-Coated Axicon Prism

Surface Plasmon Excitation and Localization by Metal-Coated Axicon Prism

Collimated Gaussian beams are efficiently localized at the apex of a metal-coated axicon prism by surface plasmon excitations. We observed the light scattered at the apex and the light reflected by the prism. Intense scattered light was observed with the radial polarization incidence. Further, each...
