Abstract

Localized and propagating surface plasmons excited with 10 fs, 400 nm laser pulses in silver gratings are imaged with a sub-wavelength spatial resolution. Microscopic images of two-photon photoemission from the nanostructured silver surface representing nonlinear maps of surface plasmon fields are recorded with a photoemission electron microscope (PEEM). Tuning the laser wavelength into the resonance of a silver grating enhances the emission from the propagating mode and attenuates that from the localized modes. Time-resolved interferometric PEEM movies taken at 330 as/frame intervals reveal the dynamics of the oscillation and dephasing of individual localized surface plasmons.
