研究目的
Investigating the enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG) signals by surface lattice resonances (SLRs) in metal nanoparticle arrays for improved chemical and biomolecular sensing.
研究成果
The study demonstrates significant enhancement of SHG signals (up to 450 times) by SLRs in metal nanoparticle arrays, with very narrow resonances (~5 nm FWHM). The SHG resonances are highly sensitive to SLRs, as shown by varying the fundamental wavelength, angle of incidence, nanoparticle material, and lattice constant. An SHG resonance attributed to higher-order multipoles, enhanced by SLRs, is identified. These findings open new avenues for chemical and biomolecular sensing using SHG spectroscopy of SLRs.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific nanoparticle arrays and materials (gold and silver). The environmental impact on SLRs and SHG signals, such as refractive index changes, is not fully explored. Future work should focus on the importance of the environment surrounding the nanoparticle arrays for practical sensing applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves SHG spectroscopy of plasmonic nanoparticles arranged in periodic arrays to investigate the enhancement of SHG signals by SLRs. Theoretical models and numerical simulations are employed to understand the electromagnetic behavior of SLRs.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Four samples with gold and silver plasmonic nanoparticles arranged into two square lattices each, with periodicities of 580 nm and 600 nm, are studied.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A tunable femtosecond pulsed laser, automated rotation stage, analyzing polarizer, and photomultiplier tube are used. Samples are fabricated using PEEL (photolithography, e-beam deposition, etching, and lift-off).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The SHG signal is measured as a function of the angle of incidence, fundamental wavelength, and nanoparticle material. The setup includes adjusting the laser power, changing the angle of incidence, and analyzing the SHG signal polarization.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The SHG intensity is analyzed to identify enhancements due to SLRs. Numerical simulations are performed to correlate the experimental findings with theoretical predictions.
