Fabry–Pérot nanocavities in multilayered plasmonic crystals for enhanced biosensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have demonstrated extraordinary light transmission effect through Fabry–Pérot cavities in multilayered plasmonic crystals formed by coupling two physically separated metallic nanohole and nanodisk array layers. Superior field-medium overlap is observed with Fabry–Pérot resonances as a result of stronger electromagnetic field confinement in the dielectric region far from the metallic surfaces. We show that these cavity resonances are highly sensitive to refractive index changes. The large field-material overlap combined with simple fabrication scheme used here makes these structures an ideal candidate for biosensing applications. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Enhanced Localized Surface Plasmonic Resonances in Dielectric Photonic Band-Gap Structures: Fabry-Perot Nanocavities & Photonic Crystal Slot Waveguides
We describe approaches to enhance localized surface plasmons by placing metallic nanoparticles into two different structures: (i) Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavities, and (ii) Photonic crystal slot waveguides. Through synchronization of the plasmonic and resonant modes, electric field at the surface of the nanoparticles is enhanced by a factor of 4~20 compared with the nanoparticles in free spa...

متن کاملEnhanced Modulation Bandwidth of a Fabry–Pérot Semiconductor Laser Subject to Light Injection From Another Fabry–Pérot Laser
Variations in optical spectrum and modulation bandwidth of a modulated Fabry–Pérot (FP) semiconductor laser subject to the external light injection from another FP Laser is investigated in this paper. Optimal wavelength matching conditions for two FP lasers are discussed. A series of experiments show that two FP lasers should have a central wavelength overlapping and a mode spacing difference o...

We developed a class of quasi-3D plasmonic crystal that consists of multilayered, regular arrays of subwavelength metal nanostructures. The complex, highly sensitive structure of the optical transmission spectra of these crystals makes them especially well suited for sensing applications. Coupled with quantitative electrodynamics modeling of their optical response, they enable full multiwavelen...
متن کاملPlasmonic photonic crystals realized through DNA-programmable assembly.
Three-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals have well-established enhanced light-matter interactions via high Q factors. Their plasmonic counterparts based on arrays of nanoparticles, however, have not been experimentally well explored owing to a lack of available synthetic routes for preparing them. However, such structures should facilitate these interactions based on the small mode volume...
