Abstract

In this paper, the first direct mapping of the UV SPPs on an Al₂O₃/Al surface is studied. A near field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) system is set up for measurement in the UV domain. Numerical modeling results are also presented to analyze the distribution properties of the UV SPPs.
