Use conventional presentation software to design and print plasmonic structures with desired spatial variation. Results and Significance: Using THz imaging, we measured the changes in the transmitted beam profile as a function of the spatial conductivity pattern.

Objective: Develop plasmonic structures in which the spatial conductivity can be variedApproach: Use a commercial inkjet printer with conductive silver ink and resistive carbon ink filled in separate cartridges. Use conventional presentation software to design and print plasmonic structures with desired spatial variation.Results and Significance: Using THz imaging, we measured the changes in the transmitted beam profile as a function of the spatial conductivity pattern. Results demonstrate that the change in conductivity corresponds directly to changes in surface plasmon polariton propagation lengths, yielding additional flexibility in creating new plasmonic structures.
