We report the first creation of near-field orbital angular momentum excited by linearly polarized light that carries no optical angular momentum. The excited surface plasmons are measured using near-field scanning optical microscope and are found in excellent agreements to simulations quantitatively.
We perform the first experimental demonstration of deterministic mode conversion in a complex integrated plasmonic nanocircuit.
We report the first experimental demonstration of selective trapping or rotation of isotropic dielectric micro-particles using a single surface plasmon polariton generation device.
