Field tunable plasmonic lenses for optical microscopy

Abstract

This study examines the behavior and tunability of plasmonic lenses created from arrays of nanoslits, applicable in sub-wavelength optical microscopy and other high-resolution imaging systems. We performed simulations on COMSOL Multiphysics to assess power flow and focal shifts in plasmonic lenses with differing slit designs, refractive indices, and angular distributions. The findings indicate that the confinement can be regulated by adjusting these parameters.
