Curved Surface Plasmon Polariton Excitation With Shaped Beam by Fifth-Power Phase Mask

We experimentally demonstrate a novel and simple method for the excitation of a curved surface plasmon polariton on a silver nanofilm. We generated an Airy-like shaped beam in the Fourier plane by using a fifth-power phase mask imposed on a spatial light modulator to excite surface plasmon polariton...
