表面等离子体激元可以使非相干光相干,反之亦然。光学空间相干度——描述波动电磁场之间相互关系的光的基本特性——已被证明在微米尺度上控制具有挑战性。我们使用表面等离子激元极化子(在薄金属薄膜的两个表面上激发的倏逝波)作为混合入射电磁场在杨氏双缝干涉仪狭缝位置的随机波动的手段。通过精细地改变两狭缝之间的分离距离,实现了光的复杂空间相干度的强可调性。空间相干度的连续调制幅度从0到80%,使我们能够将完全不相干的入射光转换成高度相干的光,反之亦然。这些发现为设计具有多功能功能的平面光学元件的替代方法铺平了道路,而不是传统的基于折射和衍射的光子超表面。
Surface plasmon polaritons can make incoherent light coherent and vice versa. The degree of optical spatial coherence—a fundamental property of light that describes the mutual correlations between fluctuating electromagnetic fields—has been proven challenging to control at the micrometer scale. We use surface plasmon polaritons—evanescent waves excited on both surfaces of a thin metal film—as a means to mix the random fluctuations of the incident electromagnetic fields at the slit locations of a Young’s double-slit interferometer. Strong tunability of the complex degree of spatial coherence of light is achieved by finely varying the separation distance between the two slits. Continuous modulation of the degree of spatial coherence with amplitudes ranging from 0 to 80% allows us to transform totally incoherent incident light into highly coherent light and vice versa. These findings pave the way for alternative methods to engineer flat optical elements with multifunctional capabilities beyond conventional refractive- and diffractive-based photonic metasurfaces.
