Figure 2. Scattering polarization from an aperture and a particle.

Figure 2

Measured (λ=780 nm) scattering polarization from an 80-nm aperture and an 80-nm gold nanoparticle. (a) Polar plot (grey) of the scattering polarization for the aperture, and (b) for the nanoparticle with the chosen relative angles (ψ=14°, 90°, 166°) of Inline graphic (red) measured from Inline graphic (blue). (c) The scattering polarization (measured from Inline graphic, ψsc, E) versus ψ for the aperture (filled circles) and for the particle (open triangles).
