Multi-fold Enhancement of Quantum Dot Luminescence in a Plasmonic Metamaterial
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report that hybridizing semiconductor quantum dots with plasmonic metamaterial leads to a multi-fold intensity increase and narrowing of their photoluminescence spectrum. The luminescence enhancement is a clear manifestation of the cavity quantum electrodynamics Purcell effect that can be controlled by the metamaterial’s design. This observation is an essential step towards understanding loss compensation in metamaterials with gain media and for developing metamaterial-enhanced gain media.

Polarization-selective plasmon-enhanced silicon quantum-dot luminescence.
The photoluminescence intensity of silicon quantum dots is enhanced in a polarization-selective way by coupling to elongated Ag nanoparticles. The observed polarization dependence provides direct proof that the PL enhancement is due to electromagnetic coupling of the silicon quantum-dot emission dipoles with dipolar plasmon modes of the Ag nanoparticles. The polarization selectivity demonstrate...
متن کاملInteraction of surface plasmons with CdTe quantum dot excitons
A 5-fold enhancement in the luminescence of CdTe nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is observed when they are placed in proximity to a nanostructured Au film deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique. No enhancement is observed with a nanostructured Ag film. The enhancement is due to the interaction of the QDs excitons with the localized surface plasmons (LSP). The Au surface plasmon (SP) freq...
متن کاملOptical 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...
متن کاملPolarization-dependent photocurrent enhancement in metamaterial-coupled quantum dots-in-a-well infrared detectors
We demonstrate polarization-dependent photo-response enhancement in metamaterial-coupled quantum dots-in-a-well infrared detectors. A gold split-ring resonator metamaterial layer was patterned by electronbeam lithography in the detector aperture. In this integrated structure, the detector spectral response is given by the convolution of the metamaterial field enhancement and the original detect...
متن کاملDual-band, Dynamically Tunable Plasmonic Metamaterial Absorbers Based on Graphene for Terahertz Frequencies
In this paper, a compact plasmonic metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies is proposed and simulated. The absorber is based on metamaterial graphene structures, and benefits from dynamically controllable properties of graphene. Through patterning graphene layers, plasmonic resonances are tailored to provide a dual band as well as an improved bandwidth absorption. Unit cell of the design...
