Abstract

The invention relates to a surface plasmon polariton enhancement needlepoint which comprises a transparent substrate (1) used for incidence of light, a metal film (2) arranged on one side of the transparent substrate and provided with a slit of a spiral structure, and a metal needlepoint body (3) which comprises a pointed portion and a root portion of the metal needlepoint body, wherein the root portion is connected with the metal film and located in the center of the spiral structure. The needlepoint enhancement effect of the enhancement needlepoint is good, needlepoints of three orders of magnitude can be enhanced, the resolution ratio of 0.03lambda0 can be achieved, the enhancement depth reaches 50 nm, the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity are greatly improved, operation is convenient and easy to achieve, large-area needlepoint arrays are easy to form, and the scanning speed is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surface plasmon excitation structure, which belongs to the field of near-field optical enhancement technology. Specifically, the invention relates to a surface plasmon enhanced needle tip, an enhanced needle tip assembly and a needle tip enhancement method, especially a device with A surface plasmon-enhanced tip with a helical structure, an enhanced tip component, and a tip-enhanced method. Background technique [0002] With the development of near-field optics and nanotechnology, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the detection accuracy of super-resolution. The development of probe technology provides an effective means to solve this problem. However, there is an inherent contradiction between the size of the probe and the detection intensity, which hinders the development of probe technology to a certain extent. In recent years, the rapid development of probe tip enhancement technology provides new ideas f...
