Single-Photon Nanoantennas
Single-photon nanoantennas are broadband strongly scattering nanostructures placed in the near field of a single quantum emitter, with the goal to enhance the coupling between the emitter and far-field radiation channels. Recently, great strides have been made in the use of nanoantennas to realize fluorescence brightness enhancements, and Purcell enhancements, of several orders of magnitude. Th...
متن کاملDrude relaxation rate in grained gold nanoantennas.
The effect of grain boundaries on the electron relaxation rate is significant even for large area noble metal films and more so for plasmonic nanostructures. Optical spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction show a substantial improvement in plasmon resonance quality for square-particle nanoantennas after annealing due to an enlarged grain size from 22 to 40 nm and improved grain boundaries described ...
متن کاملEngineering the optical response of plasmonic nanoantennas.
The optical properties of plasmonic dipole and bowtie nanoantennas are investigated in detail using the Green's tensor technique. The influence of the geometrical parameters (antenna length, gap dimension and bow angle) on the antenna field enhancement and spectral response is discussed. Dipole and bowtie antennas confine the field in a volume well below the diffraction limit, defined by the ga...
متن کاملDeep subwavelength spatial characterization of angular emission from single-crystal Au plasmonic ridge nanoantennas.
We use spatially and angle-resolved cathodoluminescence imaging spectroscopy to study, with deep subwavelength resolution, the radiation mechanism of single plasmonic ridge antennas with lengths ranging from 100 to 2000 nm. We measure the antenna's standing wave resonances up to the fifth order and measure the dispersion of the strongly confined guided plasmon mode. By directly detecting the em...
متن کاملStructure enhancement factor relationships in single gold nanoantennas by surface-enhanced Raman excitation spectroscopy.
Determining the existence of any direct spectral relationship between the far-field scattering properties and the near-field Raman-enhancing properties of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates has been a challenging task with only a few significant results to date. Here, we prove that hot spot dominated systems show little dependence on the far-field scattering properties becaus...
