Optimal plasmonic focusing on a metal disc under radially polarized terahertz illumination

Optimal focusing of surface plasmon polaritons in the center of a metal disc illuminated by radially polarized terahertz pulses is demonstrated. By matching the cylindrical symmetry of the metal structure with the radially polarized terahertz field, surface plasmons are excited along its entire circ...
