Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Here we demonstrate how a surface plasmon (SP) generated near field pattern in the vicinity of a nano-scale pin hole can be used to generate reversible topography changes in a photosensitive polymer film above the opening. This can be achieved by simply changing the polarization state of the plasmon generating incoming light. In the case of linear polarization, the near field intensity pattern causes the film to laterally expand/contract according to the direction of the polarization. For circular polarization, two pronounced rims corresponding to maxima in the topography are observed. In all cases, the topographical variation is in close agreement with the SP intensity distribution computed from finite difference time domain simulation. Our results demonstrate the versatility of using SP near fields to imprint a variety of structures into photosensitive polymer films using only a single metallic mask.
