Hierarchy in Optical Near-fields by Nano-scale Shape Engineering and its Application to Traceable Memory

We numerically and experimentally studied the hierarchy of optical near-fields by engineering the shape of metal plates at nanometer-scale. Combined with localized energy-dissipation, this hierarchy should enable novel functionality, such as traceability of optical memories.
