Near-field spatial frequency filtering model for surface plasmon self-interference virtual probe

摘要： The azimuthal angle relation for obliquely excited standing-wave surface plasmon is analytically studied in detail and thereby a near-field spatial frequency filtering model is proposed, in which the azimuthal angle relation and criterion similar to Heisenberg uncertainty principle are combined to describe the spatial resolving power of surface plasmon self-interference virtual probe imaging system. It is revealed that the incidence coupling possesses spatial anisotropy due to polarization modulation, and the mechanism for spatial resolution degradation is the compression of spatial frequency bandwidth in the near-field domain.
