Abstract

We use three-photon photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) to investigate the interference of coherently excited dipolar and quadrupolar resonant modes of plasmonic whispering gallery resonators formed by circular grooves patterned into a flat Au surface. Optical scattering and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy are used to characterize the cavity resonance spectra for a wide range of cavity radii and groove depths. Using PEEM, we directly resolve the interference between the modal field distribution of dipolar and quadrupolar modes that are coherently excited at λ = 795 nm under oblique incidence. Characteristic asymmetries in the photoelectron images for both TM and TE excitation are a direct consequence of the coherent excitation of the resonant modes.

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 (a) Scanning electron micrograph taken under an angle of 52° of a single ring resonator in Au made using template stripping. The ring is visible as a circular groove in the center with radius r = 300 nm. Scale bar: 200 nm. (b) FIB-milled cross section through a single ring resonator in Au. Scale bar: 200 nm. (c) Top-view SEM image of a 10 × 11 array of ring resonators with r = 100-350 nm and d = 60-140, 500 nm.

Fig. 2
Fig. 2 Laser excitation geometries of the photoemission electron microscope. (a) Standard illumination geometry with an angle of incidence of 65° to the sample surface normal. (b) Normal-incidence excitation geometry. The light is directed to an optical mirror inside the PEEM column and illuminates the sample under an angle of < 4° to the surface normal. In both cases the beam is focused by a lens to a spot diameter of approximately 100 µm.

Fig. 3
Fig. 3 (a) Optical extinction spectra of selected individual ring structures with d = 70 nm, w = 100 nm, and varying radius r, indicated in the figure. The laser spectrum used in PEEM experiments is also shown. (b) Cathodoluminescence spectra of the same rings as in (a). Calculated overlap integral Y d,r p (Eq. (1)) of optical extinction (c) and CL (d) spectra with the laser spectrum used in PEEM, assuming a nonlinear process of order p = 3. (e-g) Experimental photoemission electron intensity micrographs of the 10 × 11 array of ring resonators with varying radius and depth, indicated along the axes, for oblique incidence (65°, incident from the left) with (e) TE polarized light and (f) TM polarized light, and (g) normal-incident light. The electric field components projected onto the surface are indicated by the arrows.

Fig. 4
Fig. 4 High-resolution PEEM images for the dipolar resonance of a single ring resonator (r = 300 nm, d = 70 nm, w = 100 nm) under near normal-incidence excitation. Data are shown for four different incident polarizations (electric field direction indicated in the figure). Scale bar = 500 nm.

Fig. 5
Fig. 5 High-resolution PEEM images (b) for grazing incidence for rings with r = 275, 300 nm and d = 70, 80 nm for TM (top) and TEM (bottom) polarized light whose excitation geometry is sketched in (a). The schematic (c) shows the charge distributions of quadrupolar (left) and dipolar (right) modes for TE (bottom) and TM polarization (top) whose simultaneous excitation explains the asymmetric photoelectron distribution in the PEEM images.
