Both experiments and simulations show that the polarization state and propagation path of the Bloch surface waves sustained on a dielectric multilayer, can be manipulated with the grooves inscribed on this multilayer. These grooves can be easily producible, accessible and controllable. Various nano-devices for the Bloch surface waves, such as the launcher, beam splitter, reflector, polarization rotator, and even the photonic single-pole double-throw switch, were all experimentally realized with the properly designed grooves, which are consistent with the numerical simulations. The proposed devices will be basic elements for the two-dimensional photonic system, and will find numerous applications, including integrated photonics, molecular sensing, imaging and micro-manipulation.
