Abstract:The excitation of surface plasmons in metallic nanostructures by resonant ultrashort femtosecond light pulses produces interesting phenomena such as optical field nanolocalization, nanoscale electric field enhancement and ultrafast subfemtosecond beating of the plasmon eigenmodes. Nonlinear two-photon photoemission electron microscopy has proven to be a powerful tool for spatiotemporal characterization of such effects on the nanoscale below the optical diffraction limit. As a step toward using intense, few-cyc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
