2D surface optical lattice formed by plasmon polaritons with application to nanometer-scale molecular deposition

Abstract Surface plasmon polaritons, due to their tight spatial confinement and high local intensity, hold great promises in nanofabrication which is beyond the diffraction limit of conventional lithography. Here, we demonstrate theoretically the 2D surface optical lattices based on the surface plas...
