Abstract

A plasmonic lens composed of a dielectric-filled nanoslits structure on an aluminum film is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The slits’ structure is designed with equal distance, length, and width, but filled with variant thickness SiO₂ dielectric for specific phase retardations. A dual focused ion beam instrument is employed to mill the slits and deposit SiO₂ into the slits. The phase modulation by SiO₂-filled slits is illustrated by a double slits interference experiment. The light focusing behavior of the fabricated plasmonic lens is experimentally characterized by a scanning near-field optical microscope. Experimental results show good agreement with the simulations.
