Abstract

An imaging spectroscopic system that enables spatially-resolved detection of single-particle scattering with polarization-controlled waveguide excitation scheme is presented. The detected microscopic images of inhomogeneous nanostructures are recorded in a time sequence into a data cube based on a Michelson interferometer. The interferograms on selected pixels are Fourier-transformed into multiple spectra. The waveguide excitation scheme is presented for both transmission and reflection measurements while the dark-field excitation scheme is presented in transmission measurements for comparison. Gold nanoparticles, nanorods, and particles on film are utilized in the detection of polarization-dependent spectra. Measurement results are verified with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The polarization-controlled coupling conditions in nanorods and particle-on-film systems are discussed with simulated field distributions around the nanostructures.
