Advanced terahertz electric near-field measurements at sub-wavelength diameter metallic apertures: Erratum

An erratum is presented to correct an error in the discussion section of [Opt. Express. 16, 7407-7417 (2008)] and to add a relevant reference on earlier work.

Advanced terahertz electric near-field measurements at sub-wavelength diameter metallic apertures

Using terahertz-light excitation, we have measured with sub-wavelength spatial, and sub-cycle temporal resolution the time- and frequency-dependent electric-field and surface-charge density in the vicinity of small metallic holes. In addition to a singularity like concentration of the electric field near the hole edges, we observe, that holes...

Electromagnetic Spin-Orbit Interactions via Scattering of Subwavelength Apertures

Circularly polarized electric fields incident on subwavelength apertures produce near-field phase singularities with phase vorticity ±1 depending on the polarization handedness. These near-field phase singularities combine with those associated with orbital angular momentum and result in polarization-dependent transmission. We produce arbitrary...
