<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for modulating jet flow of surface plasmon polariton (SPP). <P>SOLUTION: An apparatus comprises: a substrate having a metallic surface; a structure: and a dielectric object facing a metallic top surface. The structure is configured to optically produce surface plasmon polariton that propagates on the metallic surface. The dielectric object is controllable to adjust values of a dielectric factor at an array of different positions along and near to the metallic surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
