摘要
We discuss how the topological charge of an OAM-carrying plasmon (Plasmonic Vortex) can be probed by monitoring the near-field response of plasmonic nanostructures suitably arranged inside a Plasmonic Vortex Lens. The turning "on" or "off" of four gold nanorods, detected by a Scanning Near field Optical Microscope (SNOM), acts as a fingerprint of the OAM state of the PV at the nanoscale. Different configurations are studied numerically, the integrated structure is fabricated and near field characterization is performed for a particularly meaningful case.
