Abstract
Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) localization control on rough metal surfaces has been achieved by varying the gap between a scanning near-field aperture probe and the surface. The qualitative explanation for this observation is based on the overlapping of spatial frequencies available for near-field excitation of the SPP, with the spectral distribution of spatial frequencies characterizing the surface roughness. We show in this Letter how this property, intrinsic to near-field microscopes, can be used to selectively excite surface electromagnetic states on nanostructures.Citation
