Abstract:

Utilizing boundary integral method (BIM), we investigate molecularspontaneous emission rate enhancement in the vicinity of plasmonic nanoparticles ofelliptical cross section. These types of nanoparticles can considerably enhance themolecule decay rate. The spontaneous emission rate can be modified by altering theaspect ratio of the elliptical nanoparticle, the background refractive index andnanoparticles material. It is shown that the decay rate can be enhanced by two or threeorders of magnitude for dipole distances below 10 nanometers. The position ofenhancement peaks can be adjusted in the investigated spectral range (400-1000 nm) bychanging the aspect ratio of the nanoparticle or the refractive index of backgroundmedium and nanoparticles material. To validate our result, we use BIM method tocalculate light scattering by a circular gold nanowire and compare it with analyticalresult. Then the effect of various parameters, including aspect ratio and material ofnanoparticle and the background refractive index, on the decay rate is investigated.

Large spontaneous emission rate enhancement in grating coupled hyperbolic metamaterials

Hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM), a sub-wavelength periodic artificial structure with hyperbolic dispersion, can enhance the spontaneous emission of quantum emitters. Here, we demonstrate the large spontaneous emission rate enhancement of an organic dye placed in a grating coupled hyperbolic metamaterial (GCHMM). A two-dimensional (2D) silver diffraction grating coupled with an Ag/Al2O3 HMM shows ...

Large spontaneous emission enhancement in plasmonic nanocavities

Cavity–emitter coupling can enable a host of potential applications in quantum optics, from low-threshold lasers to brighter single-photon sources for quantum cryptography1. Although some of the first demonstrations of spontaneous emission modification occurred in metallic structures2,3, it was only after the recent demonstration of cavity quantum electrodynamics effects in dielectric optical c...

Optical Klystron Enhancement to Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission at FERMI

The optical klystron enhancement to a self-amplified spontaneous emission free electron laser has been studied in theory and in simulations and has been experimentally demonstrated on a single-pass high-gain free electron laser, the FERMI FEL-1, in 2014. The main concept consists of two undulators separated by a dispersive section that converts the energy modulation induced in the first undulat...
