Generalized local analogue model for nonlocal plasmonic nanostructures based on multiple-fluid hydrodynamic framework
摘要: The control and manipulation of light waves is a long-standing ambition with profound implications for the development of science and technology. Recent advances in nanofabrication allow for a rapid progress in engineering plasmonic nano-devices which collect and concentrate light or electromagnetic waves into a subwavelength region, enabling various applications in nanophotonics, such as bio-sensor with enhanced sensitivity, plasmonic laser, plasmonic colors and quantum plasmonics, to name a few. Spatial dispersion plays a critical role in nanophotonics when small plasmonic structures with feature sizes of few nanometers are handled. Such nonlocality is typically considered in a hydrodynamic framework and generally requires solving coupled partial differential equations, and therefore is involved. We develop a generalized local analogue model to reflect the nonlocal effects of plasmonic structures and avoid the complicated analysis within the multiple-fluid hydrodynamic framework, where more than one kind of charge carriers is considered. We show that spatial nonlocality can be represented by simply replacing the nonlocal surface region with an in-situ artificial local dispersive film. With such an elegant and simple-to-use alternative, the conventional analysis and simulations in the local regime acquire nonlocal capability, sufficient for a quantitative description of various plasmonic structures in nanoscale, rendering a much simpler process and great practical advantages in the numerical treatment.

Influence of the Nonlocal Effect on the Optical Properties of Nonspherical Plasmonic Semiconductor Nanoparticles
摘要: Noble metals are commonly used as plasmon materials because of their high density of free electrons, but semiconductor materials are also becoming of interesting in this field because its electron density can be varied by doping. Metal nitrides can be an alternative to noble metals because of their low absorption loss and high electron density. Among others, TiN and ZrN seem to be most suitable as alternative plasmonic materials because their optical properties are dominated by conduction electrons near the plasmon frequency. There is the flame spray pyrolysis process, which is currently developed to produce such kind of nanoparticles. In this paper, based on an extension of the discrete sources method, the effect of the hydrodynamic Drude model of the quantum nonlocal effect on the optical characteristics of semiconductor nanoparticles is analyzed. The influence of accounting for the nonlocal effect (NLE) on the optical properties under spherical particles deformation has been investigated. It has been shown that accounting for the NLE leads to a plasmon resonance blue shift and a damping similar to noble metals. It was found that smaller particles demonstrate larger NLE influence than larger ones. Besides, the influence of polarization on the local and nonlocal responses of 3D nonspherical semiconductor particles has been investigated as well. Using simulation accounting for the nonlocal effect, it is shown that the extinction of a nonspherical ZrN particles exceeds that of a gold particle.

Plasmon enhanced second harmonic generation by periodic arrays of triangular nanoholes coupled to quantum emitters
摘要: Optical properties of periodic arrays of nanoholes of a triangular shape with experimentally realizable parameters are examined in both linear and nonlinear regimes. By utilizing a fully vectorial three-dimensional approach based on the nonlinear hydrodynamic Drude model describing metal coupled to Maxwell’s equations and Bloch equations for molecular emitters, we analyze linear transmission, reflection, and nonlinear power spectra. Rigorous numerical calculations demonstrating second and third harmonic generation by the triangular hole arrays are performed. It is shown that both the Coulomb interaction of conduction electrons and the convective term contribute on equal footing to the nonlinear response of metal. It is demonstrated that the energy conversion efficiency in the second harmonic process is the highest when the system is pumped at the localized surface plasmon resonance. When molecular emitters are placed on a surface of the hole array line shapes, the second harmonic signal exhibits three peaks corresponding to second harmonics of the localized surface plasmon mode and upper and lower polaritonic states.

Modal analysis for nanoplasmonics with nonlocal material properties
摘要: Plasmonic devices with feature sizes of a few nanometers exhibit effects which can be described by the nonlocal hydrodynamic Drude model. We demonstrate how to exploit contour integral methods for computing eigenfrequencies and resonant states of such systems. We propose an approach for deriving the modal expansion of relevant physical observables. We use the methods to perform a modal analysis for a metal nanowire. All complex eigenfrequencies in a large frequency range and the corresponding resonant states are computed. We identify those resonant states which are relevant for the extinction cross section of the nanowire.
