چکیده

We study the wavelength and polarization dependent plasmon resonances of single silver and gold nanorods, triangles, cubes, and dimers with a novel single particle spectroscopy method (RotPOL). In RotPOL, a rotating wedge-shaped polarizer encodes the full polarization information of each particle within one image. This reveals the symmetry of the particles and their plasmon modes, allows analyzing inhomogeneous samples and the monitoring of particle shape changes during growth in situ.

Mapping the Polarization Pattern of Plasmon Modes Reveals Nanoparticle Symmetry

Single molecule labeling, cancer treatment, enhancement of non-linear optical effects, or light guiding have demanded much attention from the scientific community, and as a possible solution, plasmon resonances of noble metal nanoparticles are explored. A major advancement in single molecule optics has been the polarization analysis of light from single fluorescent emitters. This analytical met...

Observation of near-field coupling in metal nanoparticle chains using far-field polarization spectroscopy

Far-field polarization spectroscopy on chains of Au nanoparticles reveals the existence of longitudinal ~L! and transverse ~T! plasmon-polariton modes. The experimental results provide support for the validity of a recently published dipole model for electromagnetic energy transfer below the diffraction limit along chains of closely spaced metal nanoparticles. The key parameters that govern the...

Plasmon guided modes in nanoparticle metamaterials.

Surface modes in nanostructured metallic metamaterial films are reported showing larger confinement than plasmons in metallic waveguides of similar dimensions, but in contrast to plasmons, the new modes have TE polarization. The metamaterial, formed by planar arrays of nearly-touching metallic nanoparticles, behaves as a high-index dielectric for the noted polarization, thus yielding well confi...

Subwavelength modulational instability and plasmon oscillons in nanoparticle arrays.

We study modulational instability in nonlinear arrays of subwavelength metallic nanoparticles and analyze numerically nonlinear scenarios of the instability development. We demonstrate that modulational instability can lead to the formation of regular periodic or quasiperiodic modulations of the polarization. We reveal that such nonlinear nanoparticle arrays can support long-lived standing and ...
