| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Spoof localized surface plasmon is studied as a promising tool to overcome the poor spatial resolution of terahertz spectroscopy due to the diffraction limit. The basic properties predicted from the theory are experimentally confirmed and controlled by changing the geometry parameters of the metallic structure. Also, vortex beam, i.e., light with orbital angular momentum is used to selectively excite multipolar modes of spoof localized surface plasmon. As a result, selection rules governed by the conservation of the total angular momentum between light and spoof localized surface plasmon are confirmed. This is the same selection rules known for localized surface plasmon in visible/infrared region. These results show spoof localized surface plasmon would allow us to realize spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit with ultrahigh sensitivity, as realized in the visible/infrared plasmonics.
