DOI: 10.1109/jphot.2017.2662944
Abstract: A compound plasmonic light analyzer with an elliptical Archimedean spiral nanostructure is proposed analytically and analyzed numerically. The elliptical Archimedean spiral is analogous to an ellipse but has varying semimajor axes. When the structure is… read more here.
