Abstract

Until recently the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves propagating along the curve trajectory were the only Airy-family plasmonic beams. In 2018, a new class of curved surface plasmon wave – the plasmonic hook (PH) – was introduced. The PH is created using the in-plane focusing of the SPP wave through a wavelength-scaled Janus dielectric particle. This is fundamentally simpler than the generation of the known SPP Airy-family beams. The PH propagates along a wavelength-scaled curved trajectory with radius less than the SPP wavelength, which represents the smallest radius of curvature ever recorded for an SPP beam, and can exist despite the strong energy dissipation at metal surface. In this chapter, we discussed some key properties of PH and its experimental verification. Some of applications are also discussed briefly.
