چکیده

We investigate the light emission from dipolar emitters located within nanoparticle antennas. It is found that the enormous emission enhancement can reach nearly a million fold. For multinanoparticle antennas, the polarization of the emissions strongly depends on the geometry of the antennas, the emitted wavelengths, and the dielectric functions of surrounding media. It is shown that a polarization nanorotator, which modulates the emission polarization on the nanometer scale, can be readily realized by varying either the geometry or surrounding media of nanoparticle antennas.

Plasmonic nanoantennas for efficient control of polarization-entangled photon pairs

We suggest a source of polarization-entangled photon pairs based on a cross-shaped plasmonic nanoantenna driven by a single quantumdot. The integration of the nanoantennawith ametalmirror overcomes the fundamental tradeoff between the spontaneous emission (SE) enhancement and the extraction efficiency typical ofmicrocavityand nanowire-based architectures.With a very high extraction efficiency o...

High–bit rate ultra-compact light routing with mode-selective on-chip nanoantennas

Optical nanoantennas provide a promising pathway toward advanced manipulation of light waves, such as directional scattering, polarization conversion, and fluorescence enhancement. Although these functionalities were mainly studied for nanoantennas in free space or on homogeneous substrates, their integration with optical waveguides offers an important "wired" connection to other functional opt...

Spin-Polarized Photon Emission by Resonant Multipolar Nanoantennas

We demonstrate nanoscale spin control of photons emitted by an atomic system coupled to a compact plasmonic nanoantenna supporting phase-locked interference of different multipolar moments within a single resonance. Experimentally we observe chiral light emission from quantum dots over split-ring resonant nanoantennas, where the spin of the emitted photons is locked to their transverse momentum...

Multiple-wavelength plasmonic nanoantennas.

We propose a type of photonic-plasmonic antennas capable of focusing light into subwavelength focal point(s) at several wavelengths, which are formed by embedding conventional dimer gap or bow-tie nanoantennas into multiple-periodic gratings. Fano-type coupling between localized surface plasmon resonances of dimer antennas and photonic modes in the gratings adds new functionalities, including m...

Tailored nanoantennas for directional Raman studies of individual carbon nanotubes

We exploit the near field enhancement of nanoantennas to investigate the Raman spectra of otherwise not optically detectable carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We demonstrate that a top-down fabrication approach is particularly promising when applied to CNTs, owing to the sharp dependence of the scattered intensity on the angle between incident light polarization and CNT axis. In contrast to tip enhancem...
