Abstract

The science of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) has attracted a lot of attention in the last years. In this contribution, we study applications of two-photon absorption of femtosecond laser radiation for the fabrication of dielectric and metallic SPP-structures, which can be used for localization, guiding, and manipulation of SPPs. Dielectric SPP components, e.g. waveguides, bends and splitters are fabricated on gold films. SPP properties are investigated by scanning optical near-field microscopy (SNOM), indicating guiding and reflection of SPPs by polymer lines. SPP excitation on dielectric line and point structures is observed by far-field microscopy. Results on plasmon focussing and on the fabrication and characterization of metallic SPP-structures and components on dielectric substrates will be presented and discussed.
