Plasmonic Metamaterials for Nanochemistry and Sensing
摘要： Plasmonic nanostructures were initially developed for sensing and nanophotonic applications but, recently, have shown great promise in chemistry, optoelectronics, and nonlinear optics. While smooth plasmonic films, supporting surface plasmon polaritons, and individual nanostructures, featuring localized surface plasmons, are easy to fabricate and use, the assemblies of nanostructures in optical antennas and metamaterials provide many additional advantages related to the engineering of the mode structure (and thus, optical resonances in the given spectral range), field enhancement, and local density of optical states required to control electronic and photonic interactions. Focusing on two of the many applications of plasmonic metamaterials, in this Account, we review our work on the sensing and nanochemistry applications of metamaterials based on the assemblies of plasmonic nanorods under optical, as well as electronic interrogation.

Plasmonic Sensors Based onMetal-Insulator-Metal Waveguides for Refractive Index Sensing Applications: A Brief Review
摘要： Optical sensors are widely used for refractive index measurement in biomedical, chemical, and food processing industries and offer high sensitivity to ambient refractive index variations due to the specific field distribution of the resonances. The sensor’s sensitivity is greatly dependent on its material and structure. In this review, we focused on plasmonic refractive index sensors with no fluorescent labelling required. The latest developments on special types of plasmonic structures such as metal-insulator-metal waveguides and their application in refractive index sensors are presented. Moreover, numerous types of plasmonic waveguides, geometries, materials, fabrication processes, and losses related to plasmonic waveguides are explained to provide a better understanding of this topic. The highlight of this review is to discuss the spectral performance of recently reported refractive index sensors by emphasising their sensitivity and figure of merits.

Quantum Coherence Preservation in Extremely Dispersive Plasmonic Media
摘要： Quantum plasmonics experiments have on multiple occasions resulted in the observation of quantum coherence of discrete plasmons, which exhibit remarkable preservation of quantum interference visibility, a seemingly surprising feature for systems mixing light and matter with high Ohmic losses during propagation. However, most experiments to date used essentially weakly confined plasmons, which experience limited light-matter hybridization, thus limiting the potential for decoherence. In this paper, we investigate experimentally the robustness of coherence preservation in a plasmonic system: our setup is based on a hole-array chip supporting plasmons near the surface plasma frequency, where plasmonic dispersion and confinement are much stronger than in previous experiments, making the plasmons much more susceptible for decoherence processes. We, however, report preservation of quantum coherence even in these extreme conditions. We generate polarization-entangled pairs of photons using type-I spontaneous parametric down-conversion and transmit one of the photons through a plasmonic hole array that is numerically designed to convert incident single photons into highly dispersive single surface-plasmon polaritons. Our results show that the quality of photon entanglement after the plasmonic channel is unperturbed by the introduction of a highly dispersive plasmonic element. Our findings provide a lower bound of 100 fs for the pure dephasing time for dispersive plasmons in gold, and show that even in a highly dispersive regime surface plasmons preserve quantum mechanical correlations, making possible harnessing of the power of extreme light confinement for integrated quantum photonics.

摘要： For terahertz integrated systems, an intersection between waveguides is inevitable and is often accompanied by considerable crosstalk and loss. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel type of crossing with a footprint less than 0.2×0.2 mm2 for terahertz surface plasmon polariton waveguiding. The crossing is estimated by investigating a sequence of waveguides with one, two and three crossings. By optimizing the crossover structure to suppress crosstalk, the measured loss is as low as -3.86 dB and the crosstalk is less than -19.06 dB/crossing at 0.55 THz. The proposed crossing structure is compact and has low loss and crosstalk within a broad band, which will pave the way for a wide range of new applications for THz integrated systems.

A Band-Pass Filter Based on Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide and Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons
摘要： In this paper, a band-pass filter based on half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) and double-layer spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) consisting of two corrugated metal strips is proposed, which can realize band-pass transmission by etching periodic grooves at the top and bottom metal layers of the HMSIW. Moreover, the influences of important parameters on the performance of the proposed band-pass filter are analyzed by parametric study. By changing the key parameters, the low and high cut-off frequency can be controlled independently. The corresponding equivalent circuit of the proposed band-pass filter is put forward to explain the physical mechanism. Compared with the previous structures, this structure features smaller size, wider bandwidth and lower loss. Simulated results show that the proposed band-pass filter achieves a bandwidth (for |S11| < ?10 dB and |S21| > ?0.8 dB) of about 69.77% (15.6–32.1 GHz). The measured results have good agreements with the simulated ones, which verify that the proposed band-pass filter has good performances and potential applications at the microwave frequencies.

Study of Grain Boundary Character || Control the Metal Grain Boundary Recrystallization Evolution by the Laser Radiation Electric Field Strength Direction Under Cyclic Thermal Loading
摘要： The spatial grating formation at metal surface under the linear polarized laser radiation action is briefly considered. The spatial grating periods are well described in framework of universal polariton model (UPM) and are well-defined physical quantities. The production of new-type gratings (quasi-gratings) at laser power densities lower than the metal melting threshold with power-dependent typical spatial scale and polarization-dependent orientation are discovered. The regularities of quasi-grating production are experimentally studied. The physical model of quasi-grating formation explaining the anisotropic character of metal recrystallization is suggested. The anisotropy is caused by the directed electron flux interaction with grain boundaries. The electron flux results from the drag effect of electrons by surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). SPPs are excited by incident laser radiation on the surface irregularities including the grain boundaries. The volume analog of considered effect is the electroplastic one, and some of its regularities are considered.

Plasmon induced transparency like transmission properties in compact MIM waveguide side-coupled with U-cavity
摘要： Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can overcome the limitation of diffraction and control light at nanoscale, thus becoming a hotspot in recent years. SPPs based metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguides using U-cavity and slot cavity are designed. The transmission characteristics are numerically simulated and verified by the coupled mode theory (CMT). Meanwhile, the effects of changing the geometric parameters on the transmission characteristics are also studied. Single and double plasmon induced transparency (PIT) effects are realized through the coupling and the destructive interfering between the transmission paths. Furthermore, characteristics of the refractive index sensing as well as the slow light and fast light effects are also investigated. We hope the designed waveguide structures along with their transmission characteristics have potential application prospects in the area of nanoscale integrated optical devices, such as filters, sensors, switches, slow/fast light devices, and other optoelectronic circuits.

摘要： Airy wave packets are a special class of non-diffractive solutions to the wave equation which accelerate along a bend trajectory. Their self-healing property makes them particularly interesting for integrated nanophotonic applications. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), in contrast, have the beneficial property to be bound to the two-dimensional surface of a noble metal and enable sub-wavelength confinement. In two dimensions, Airy wave packets are the only non-diffracting solution of the wave equation. The high intrinsic bandwidth of a plasmonic excitation makes it ideal for ultrafast photonics. Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) represents an ideal tool to deliver images of these processes. The method has been successfully applied by us in the past to investigate the transient behavior of an optical nanoantenna emitting Hankel plasmon pulses. We have used PEEM in combination with a variable wavelength excitation from an optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier system (OPCPA) to experimentally investigate Airy plasmon pulses emitted by an excitation grating. The OPCPA system allows us to experimentally investigate the performance of the excitation in the wavelength range between 670 and 840 nm, where a 3-photon-process is necessary to emit an electron. In this way, we can sample the spectral response which is necessary to determine the ultrafast characteristics of the Airy plasmon pulse. We find that the excitation of stationary Airy plasmons is possible over a large bandwidth. However, the creation of an ultrafast hotspot requires also a matching of the spectral phase which is hard to fulfill in strong dispersing systems. We therefore accompany our measurements with rigorous finite-difference time domain simulations, a suitable nonlinear electron yield model, and analytic calculations to determine the modal purity of the Airy plasmon excitation based on reciprocity. Results support our experimental data and suggest that further improvements of the excitation scheme are necessary to obtain spatio-temporal hotspots.
