摘要
We report the experimental realization of highly efficient optical elements built up from metal nanostructures to manipulate surface plasmon polaritons propagating along a silver/polymer interface. Mirrors, beamsplitters, and interferometers produced by electron-beam lithography are investigated. The plasmon fields are imaged by detecting the fluorescence of molecules dispersed in the polymer.
