How grooves reflect and confine surface plasmon polaritons

The reflection of surface plasmon polaritons by deep linear grooves structured into gold surfaces is investigated with numerical finite-difference-in-time-domain as well as boundary-element-method calculations. Groove widths of 25 and 100 nm are studied, with depths as large as 500 nm. The reflectio...
