Enhancement of single-molecule fluorescence using a gold nanoparticle as an optical nanoantenna.
We investigate the coupling of a single molecule to a single spherical gold nanoparticle acting as a nanoantenna. Using scanning probe technology, we position the particle in front of the molecule with nanometer accuracy and measure a strong enhancement of more than 20 times in the fluorescence intensity simultaneous to a 20-fold shortening of the excited state lifetime. Comparisons with three-...
متن کاملLarge single-molecule fluorescence enhancements produced by a bowtie nanoantenna
Owing to the size mismatch between light and nanoscale objects such as single molecules, it is important to be able to control light–molecule interactions1–4. Plasmonic nanoantennas create highly enhanced local fields when pumped resonantly, leading to increased Raman scattering5, but whether fluorescence enhancement occurs depends upon a variety of factors. Although sharp metal tips6 and collo...
متن کاملEnhancement of terahertz pulse emission by optical nanoantenna.
Bridging the gap between ultrashort pulsed optical waves and terahertz (THz) waves, the THz photoconductive antenna (PCA) is a major constituent for the emission or detection of THz waves by diverse optical and electrical methods. However, THz PCA still lacks employment of advanced breakthrough technologies for high-power THz emission. Here, we report the enhancement of THz emission power by in...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal
Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...
متن کاملOptical emission of a molecular nanoantenna pair.
The optical emission from a pair of nanoantennas is investigated within the theoretical framework of quantum electrodynamics. The analysis of fluorescent emission from a pair of molecular antenna species in close proximity is prompted by experimental work on oriented semiconductor polymer nanostructures. Each physically different possibility for separation-dependent features in photon emission ...
