研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of nonlinear optical properties in hybrid nanoparticle films through coupling between metallic and plasmonic semiconducting nanoparticles.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that a thin-film heterostructure that places semiconducting and metallic nanoparticles in close proximity can enhance nonlinear optical properties by coupling of plasmonic excitations. Such a material system has important advantages for nonlinear optical materials, in that plasmonic processes are ultrafast compared with excitonic processes and due to the ease with which the nanoparticle films can be fabricated via solution processing.
研究不足
The complexity of the structures for the multiplasmonic enhancement of SHG has driven a near-total reliance on lithography to obtain precise control over the composition, shape, and arrangement of the individual nanostructures. However, lithography imposes significant limitations on the device geometry and scalability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of heterostructures comprising CuS and Au nanoparticle films separated by a thin layer of insulating ligands. The nonlinear optical properties were enhanced through coupling between these nanoparticles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Au and CuS nanoparticles were synthesized using standard solvothermal techniques and assembled into heterostructured films using a facile bath method.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A mode-locked Nd:glass laser operating at 1050 nm wavelength was used to induce the generation of visible upconverted light. The intensity of the visible light was monitored with a photomultiplier tube (PMT).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The beam was attenuated with crossed polarizing filters, and the intensity of the visible light was monitored with a PMT. Short-pass and notch filters were used to capture the SHG signal and the MPPL, respectively.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The spectroscopy of an SHG material (BBO) was used to demonstrate the complete attenuation of the fundamental beam and the presence of a peak at 525 nm.
