AbstractWith the properties of transmission enhancement and sub-wavelength localization, photonic components based on surface plasmon polaritons meet the requirements of microminiaturization and integration, which have become one of hot points of nano-photonics recently.Surface plasmon polaritons theories and numerical analysis methods is briefly discussed in the thesis. Based on these theories, the phenomenon of extraordinary optical transmission and focused light field on sub-wavelength scale is mainly researched. The main works of the thesis are as follows:The effect of varied parameters such as metal material, medium refractive, incident light wavelength, thickness of metal to surface plasmon polaritons excitation in the kretschmann structure is analyzed. The simulation results show when the thickness of gold film is about 60nm, surface plasmon polaritons can be excited easily. When incident light wavelength is over 700nm, the angle of incident light requires extremely accuracy.Transmission enhancement of surface plasmon polaritons in sub-wavelength slit and groove is studied. The study shows that the slit can be considered a Fabry-Perot cavity. When the thickness of the film is integer times of the standing wave period, the transmitted intensity can reach maximum. The structure designed can enhance emergent light intensity four times than incident light.A kind of nano-slit photonic component is proposed. The theoretical studies and simulations show that various slit width in nano-slit structure is corresponding different effective refractive index, so that the phase of light passing through various slit is different. The nano-slit structure designed has ideal focusing spot size, traditional photonic devices do not have. Focal length has the same size as wavelength and half-width is shorter than a wavelength.The thesis embeds liquid crystals in the slit region, which can modulate the focal spot without changing the component geometry.
