Enhanced nonlinear response from metal surfaces.
While metals benefit from a strong nonlinearity at optical frequencies, its practical exploitation is limited by the weak penetration of the electric field within the metal and the screening by the surface charges. It is shown here that this limitation can be bypassed by depositing a thin dielectric layer on the metal surface or, alternatively, using a thin metal film. This strategy enables us ...
متن کاملMetal-enhanced fluorescence from tin nanostructured surfaces
The recent surge in interest in the metal-enhanced fluorescence MEF phenomenon and its numerous applications in the biosciences has fueled research into identifying alternative metals to silver which have desirable properties, such as enhanced emission and fluorophore photostability. In this paper, we subsequently study and reveal that tin nanodeposits are a suitable metal for MEF with an elect...
متن کاملMie plasmon enhanced diffraction of light from nanoporous metal surfaces.
The diffractive properties of gold films with a periodic lattice of sub-micron voids beneath the surface are investigated. It has been shown that nanoporous metal surfaces exhibit frequency-selective non-dispersive diffraction enhanced by Mie plasmons in nanovoids, which leads to absolute angular tolerance of the diffracted beam intensity that can be useful for a variety of applications coverin...
متن کاملNonlinear plasmonics at planar metal surfaces.
We investigate the nonlinear optical response of a noble metal surface. We derive the components of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility and determine an absolute value of χ((3))≈0.2 nm(2) V(-2), a value that is more than two orders of magnitude larger than the values found for typical nonlinear laser crystals. Using nonlinear four-wave mixing (4WM) with incident laser pulses of frequencies...
متن کاملEnhanced nonlinear optical response of one-dimensional metal-dielectric photonic crystals.
We describe a new type of artificial nonlinear optical material composed of a one-dimensional metal-dielectric photonic crystal. Because of the resonant nature of multiple Bragg reflections, the transmission within the transmission band can be quite large, even though the transmission through the same total thickness of bulk metal would be very small. This procedure allows light to penetrate in...
