چکیده

Development of low-cost disposable plasmonic substrates is vital for the applicability of plasmonic sensing. Such devices can be made using injection-molded templates to create plasmonic films. The elements of these plasmonic films are hybrid nanostructures composed of inverse and solid structures. Tuning the modal coupling between the two allows optimization of the optical properties for nanophotonic applications.

Optical Chirality Enhancement in Twisted Arrays of Plasmonic Nano-rods

An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...

Extrinsic chirality of non-concentric plasmonic nanorings

We show how extrinsic chirality, i.e. the optical activity of achiral media exhibited at oblique light incidence, can be achieved in plasmonic nanorings by symmetry breaking. We demonstrate that even a small, 5% offset of an inner hole of a 190 nm gold ring results in a measurable circular dichroism signal in the near-infrared region. By using computer simulations, we show that optical activity...

Tunable Plasmonic Nanoparticles Based on Prolate Spheroids

Metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. Spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using Mie theory. However a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...
