Figure 2 | Dynamic and static investigation of the plasmonic phyllotaxis-inspired vortex nanosieve (IMAGE)
Caption
a, During the dynamic investigation by TR-PEEM (time-resolved two-photon photoemission electron microscopy), the probe pulse interferes with the propagating SPPs and liberates photoelectrons in a two-photon photoemission process, which will then be imaged with the PEEM setup. b, A top-view SEM image of the sample. c-e, Raw experimental data of delay-time snapshots from measured TR-PEEM results. Three stages of vortex evolution upon RCP illumination can be identified: formation (c), revolution (d), and decay (e). All the data are shown on a logarithmic intensity scale. f-g, Processed images with only SPP dynamics that correspond to the delay times used in c-e. The small black dashed arrows indicate the propagation of vortex wavefronts in each stage. The black dashed arrows in panel g indicate the revolution direction of the vortex patterns. i, Simulated intensity profiles of the plasmonic phyllotaxis-inspired vortex nanosieve upon RCP, LCP and LP illumination.
