摘要

Abstract

Perfect lenses

superlenses and time-reversal mirrors can support and spatially separate evanescent waves

which is the basis for detecting subwavelength information in the far field. However

the inherent limitations of these methods have prevented the development of systems to dynamically distinguish subdiffraction-limited signals. Utilizing the physical merits of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs)

we demonstrate that subdiffraction-limited signals can be transmitted on planar integrated SPP channels with low loss

low channel interference

and high gain and can be radiated with a very low environmental sensitivity. Furthermore

we show how deep subdiffraction-limited signals that are spatially coupled can be distinguished after line-of-sight wireless transmission. For a visualized demonstration

we realize the high-quality wireless communication of two movies on subwavelength channels over the line of sight in real time using our plasmonic scheme

showing significant advantages over the conventional methods.
