Femtosecond nonlinear ultrasonics in gold probed with ultrashort surface plasmons.
Fundamental interactions induced by lattice vibrations on ultrafast time scales have become increasingly important for modern nanoscience and technology. Experimental access to the physical properties of acoustic phonons in the terahertz-frequency range and over the entire Brillouin zone is crucial for understanding electric and thermal transport in solids and their compounds. Here we report on...
متن کاملFemtosecond electron-lattice thermalization dynamics in a gold film probed by pulsed surface plasmon resonance.
The dynamics of electronic excitations and their relaxation in a gold film is studied on the femtosecond time scale with a pump-probe technique. For the pump beam we use pulses with wavelengths centered at 800 nm, 400 nm or both. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in Kretschmann's configuration is used as a sensitive and fast-response probe of the dynamics of the dielectric properties of the g...

متن کاملFormation of Gold Microparticles by Ablation with Surface Plasmons
The formation of gold microparticles on a silicon substrate through the use of energetic surface plasmons is reported. A laser-assisted plasmonics system was assembled and tested to synthesize gold particles from gold thin film by electrical field enhancement mechanism. A mask containing an array of 200 nm diameter holes with a periodicity of 400 nm was prepared and placed on a silicon substrat...
متن کاملNonlinear processes induced by the enhanced, evanescent field of surface plasmons excited by femtosecond laser pulses.
Evanescent fields of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) above metal surfaces can reach 1-2 orders of magnitude higher, nearly atomic field strengths in comparison to the relatively weak exciting laser fields of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser oscillator. We used these high plasmonic fields to study the characteristic SPP phenomena of intense field optics experimentally. It was found that both the...
