Nanofocusing enhancement in a tapered slit by using a dielectric micro isosceles triangle prism and tuning the entrance aperture
We present a combined configuration consisting of a dielectric micro isosceles triangular prism and a metallic tapered slit for enhanced nanofocusing. The dielectric micro isosceles triangular prism collects the incident light first and then the tapered slit guides the beam to form naofocusing with...

Zusammenfassung: | We present a combined configuration consisting of a dielectric micro isosceles triangular prism and a metallic tapered slit for enhanced nanofocusing. The dielectric micro isosceles triangular prism collects the incident light first and then the tapered slit guides the beam to form naofocusing with higher intensity at the exit aperture of the tapered slit, which overcomes the limit of the extremely small entrance aperture diaphragm of the slit. With the help of the dielectric micro isosceles triangular prism, the intensity of the nanofocused electric field at the exit aperture of the tapered slit can be increased more than 4 folds. |
