Abstract
It has recently been demonstrated that adiabatic nanofocusing of light by gap-plasmon modes in ultra-sharp convex metal grooves can turn metallic surfaces with high reflectivity in the visible and near-infrared into excellent absorbers of light polarized perpendicular to the groove direction. Here we demonstrate that this effect can be used to design broadband linear polarizers, operating in reflection and inducing negligible dispersive stretching of ultra-short (5-10 fs) laser pulses.
