Abstract

The efficient coupling of light from a tapered fiber coupled microsphere resonator to localized surface plasmon modes of Au-coated tip was demonstrated. To verify efficient localized surface plasmon excitation at the metal tip via a tapered fiber coupled microsphere resonator, we measured second harmonic generation from the top of Au-coated tip. From the results, in spite of a weak CW excitation, we succeeded in repeatedly observing SHG from the top of the Au-coated tip via a tapered fiber coupled microsphere resonator system, which could focus the light with the coupling efficiency of about 63.2 % into the nanoscale domain of the metal tip with the effective cross section of 358.2 nm².
