We study subwavelength confinement of electromagnetic wave and their nonlinearity in nanometer and angstrom-scale antennas. By using a new patterning technology based on atomic layer deposition, chemical vapor deposition and simple adhesive tape-based planarization creates vertically oriented gaps in opaque metal film along the entire contour of a millimeter-sized pattern with gap widths less than a nanometer. Squeezing terahertz electromagnetic waves through these nanometer and angstrom-scale gaps leads to giant field enhancements, nonlocal electromagnetic effects and light-induced electron tunneling.

We are interested in understanding extreme-subwavelength optical phenomena, in the λ/10,000 range. A good example is λ=300 μm, 1 THz wave that passes through 50 nm metallic slit, a terahertz nano-scale phenomenon. Through collaborative experimental and theoretical research program, we want to explore the heretofore virgin territory of optics in λ/10,000 regime and optics in Thomas-Fermi length scale of 0.1 nm.

We also pursue a deeper understanding on optics by observing electric and magnetic phenomena separately. Nontrivial magnetic-electric relationships are becoming increasingly important, while there are few suitable methods for direct measurements of the each optical field. Our research on vectorial mapping of electric/magnetic field will greatly benefit the field of nanophotonics, such as in optical metamaterial development.
