Oral/2009: Near Unity Conversion between Guided Photons and Surface Plasmon-Polaritons
Xuewen Chen1, Vahid Sandoghdar1, Mario Agio1
1Laboratory of Physical Chemistry, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Abstract: We report a rapid, robust and broadband scheme to interface guided photons and surface plasmon-polaritons by butt-coupling a dielectric nanofiber and a metal nanowire. We...
