Abstract
Accurately capturing the spatiotemporal information of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is the basis for expanding SPPs applications. We record time-resolved nonlinear photoemission electron microscopy (TR-PEEM) images of weakly excited femtosecond SPPs launched from a rectangular trench milled into a flat silver film. Experimental results show that the overall photoelectron yield is greatly enhanced (typically 6-fold enhancement with the comparison of that without 400nm pulse) in this configuration. The spatiotemporal evolution of SPP can be easily investigated with its carrier wavelength, group velocityand phase velocity. The improvement of photoemission yield is interpreted by the quantum pathway for two-color with changing the nonlinear for photoemission. It is found that the contrast between bright and dark fringes of SPPs is significantly improved compared to the single-color scheme due to the improvement of quantum pathway channels for photoemission. These findings complete the underlying physics of two-color PEEM optimized SPP spatiotemporal imaging.
