In this work, we investigate the interaction of surface plasmons with a plasmonic Lüneburg lens using near field scanning optical microscopy. Gray-scale electron beam lithography is used to prepare a dome-shaped resist structure on top of a gold film. This particular shape yields the effective refractive index profile of a Lüneburg lens for surface plasmons propagating at the film surface at an energy...
