Abstract

We design a novel plasmonic lens consisting of multiple nano-metal slits surrounded by dielectric air slot waveguides. The surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are excited from the metal slits. The slot waveguides provide desired phase retardations of light focusing. Numerical simulations with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method show that the transmitted fields through the design example can generate light focusing and deflection by altering the width or length of slot waveguides. The focal spot size is far narrower than the incident wavelength and the focal length can be controlled in several micrometers, which agree with our theoretical analysis.
