Solution processed polydimethylsiloxane/gold nanostar flexible substrates for plasmonic sensing.
Gold nanostars can display tunable optical properties in the visible and near IR, which lead to strong electromagnetic field enhancement at their tips. We report generalized application of gold nanostars for ultrasensitive identification of molecules, based on both localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We address the requirements of plasmonic s...
متن کاملControlled Cellular fusion using optically trapped Plasmonic Nano-Heaters
Optically trapped plasmonic nano-heaters are used to mediate efficient and controlled fusion of biological membranes. The fusion method is demonstrated by optically trapping plasmonic nanoparticles located in between vesicle membranes leading to rapid lipid and content mixing. As an interesting application we show how direct control over fusion can be used for studying diffusion of peripheral m...
متن کاملAn Optically Controlled Microscale Elevator Using Plasmonic Janus Particles
In this article, we report how Janus particles, composed of a silica sphere with a gold half-shell, can be not only stably trapped by optical tweezers but also displaced controllably along the axis of the laser beam through a complex interplay between optical and thermal forces. Scattering forces orient the asymmetric particle, while strong absorption on the metal side induces a thermal gradien...
متن کاملSelf-Aligned Plasmonic Nanopores by Optically Controlled Dielectric Breakdown.
We present a novel cost-efficient method for the fabrication of high-quality self-aligned plasmonic nanopores by means of an optically controlled dielectric breakdown. Excitation of a plasmonic bowtie nanoantenna on a dielectric membrane localizes the high-voltage-driven breakdown of the membrane to the hotspot of the enhanced optical field, creating a nanopore that is automatically self-aligne...
متن کاملOptically switchable directional invisibility.
It is shown that a scatterer can be designed to be directionally invisible for an incident field composed of a given sum of plane waves. These scatterers are invisible only when all plane waves are present with the given amplitudes and directions of incidence, which suggests a new type of "switchable" invisibility. Such objects could find application in optical devices such as couplers, switche...
