Ultrafast nonlinear control of progressively loaded, single plasmonic nanoantennas fabricated using helium ion milling.
We demonstrate milling of partial antenna gaps and narrow conducting bridges with nanometer precision using a helium ion beam microscope. Single particle spectroscopy shows large shifts in the plasmonic mode spectrum of the milled antennas, associated with the transition from capacitive to conductive gap loading. A conducting bridge of nanometer height is found sufficient to shift the antenna f...
متن کاملConsiderably Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation in Resonant U-Shaped Nano-Structures
In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the spectral response of the gold U-shaped nano-structures for different geometrical parameters and polarizations in order to obtain significant localization factor in the wavelength 1.55 μm. The obtained near-field distribution of electric fields reveals that resonances in these nano-structures correspond to the even and odd plasmonic modes dependi...
متن کاملPhotoconductively loaded plasmonic nanoantenna as building block for ultracompact optical switches.
We propose and explore theoretically a new concept of ultrafast optical switches based on nonlinear plasmonic nanoantennas. The antenna nanoswitch operates on the transition from the capacitive to conductive coupling regimes between two closely spaced metal nanorods. By filling the antenna gap with amorphous silicon, progressive antenna-gap loading is achieved due to variations in the free-carr...
متن کاملTailoring spatiotemporal light confinement in single plasmonic nanoantennas.
Plasmonic nanoantennas are efficient devices to concentrate light in spatial regions much smaller than the wavelength. Only recently, their ability to manipulate photons also on a femtosecond time scale has been harnessed. Nevertheless, designing the dynamical properties of optical antennas has been difficult since the relevant microscopic processes governing their ultrafast response have remai...
متن کاملPhotonic-plasmonic-coupled nanoantennas for polarization-controlled multispectral nanofocusing.
We report on the design and experimental demonstration of array-enhanced nanoantennas for polarization-controlled multispectral nanofocusing in the near-IR spectral range. We design plasmonic double bow-tie nanoantennas-coupled to multiple-periodic nanoparticle arrays to harvest radiation of designed wavelengths from a large spatial area and to focus it into a targeted nanoscale region. Near-fi...
