Broadband light absorption with multiple surface plasmon polariton waves excited at the interface of a metallic grating and photonic crystal.
Light incident upon a periodically corrugated metal/dielectric interface can generate surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves. This effect is used in many sensing applications. Similar metallodielectric nanostructures are used for light trapping in solar cells, but the gains are modest because SPP waves can be excited only at specific angles and with one linear polarization state of incident ligh...
متن کاملInfluence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposite Materials under Ultrafast Pulse Laser Excitation
Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...
متن کاملExcitation of a surface plasmon with an elastomeric grating
We report on a new method to excite surface plasmon polaritons on a thin metal slab surface using an elastomeric grating which is fabricated by replica molding technique. The grating is placed on the metal surface which creates a periodic perturbation on the surface matching the momentum of the incident light to that of the surface plasmon. The conformal contact between the metal surface and th...
متن کاملEffect of grating period on the excitation of multiple surface- plasmon-polariton waves guided by the interface of a metal grating and a photonic crystal
The excitation of multiple surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves guided by the interface of a metal and a onedimensional photonic crystal in the grating-coupled configuration was studied both experimentally and theoretically. Only p-polarized incident light was considered in the visible and near-infrared regimes. When the absorptance was plotted against the angle of incidence, the excitation of...
متن کاملOptical sensing of analytes in aqueous solutions with a multiple surface-plasmon-polariton-wave platform
The commonly used optical sensor based on surface plasmon-polariton wave phenomenon can sense just one chemical, because only one SPP wave can be guided by the interface of a metal and a dielectric material contained in the sensor. Multiple analytes could be detected and/or the sensing reliability for a single analyte could be enhanced, if multiple SPP-wave modes could be excited on a single me...
