Abstract Due to their promising properties, surface magneto plasmons have attracted great interests in the field of plasmonics recently. Apart from flexible modulation of the plasmonic properties by an external magnetic field, surface magneto plasmons also promise nonreciprocal effect and multi-bands of propagation, which can be applied into the design of integrated plasmonic devices for biosensing and telecommunication applications. In the visible frequencies, because it demands extremely strong magnetic fields for the manipulation of metallic plasmonic materials, nano-devices consisting of metals and magnetic materials based on surface magneto plasmon are difficult to be realized due to the challenges in device fabrication and high losses. In the infrared frequencies, highly-doped semiconductors can replace metals, owning to the lower incident wave frequencies and lower plasma frequencies. The required magnetic field is also low, which makes the tunable devices based on surface magneto plasmons more practically to be realized. Furthermore, a promising 2D material-graphene shows great potential in infrared magnetic plasmonics. In this paper, we review the magneto plasmonics in the infrared frequencies with a focus on device designs and applications. We investigate surface magneto plasmons propagating in different structures, including plane surface structures and slot waveguides. Based on the fundamental investigation and theoretical studies, we illustrate various magneto plasmonic micro/nano devices in the infrared, such as tunable waveguides, filters, and beam-splitters. Novel plasmonic devices such as one-way waveguides and broad-band waveguides are also introduced.

We explore the potential of highly mismatched alloys (HMAs) for realizing lossless plasmonics. Systems with a plasmon frequency at which there are no interband or intraband processes possible are called lossless, as there is no two-particle loss channel for the plasmon. We find that the band splitting in HMAs with a conduction band anticrossing guarantees a lossless frequency window. When such a material is doped, producing plasmonic behavior, we study the conditions required for the plasmon frequency to fall in the lossless window, realizing lossless plasmons. Considering a generic class of HMAs with a conduction band anticrossing, we find universal contours in their parameter space within which lossless plasmons are possible for some doping range. Our analysis shows that HMAs with heavy effective masses and small high-frequency permittivity are most promising for realizing a lossless plasmonic material.

The field of plasmonics — the study of collective electron excitation in nanostructured metal and other conductors — is currently highly active with research foci in a number of related fields, including plasmon-enhanced spectroscopies and plasmon-mediated photochemical and photocatalytic processes through which the energy stored temporarily as plasmons can be used to enable and (or) accelerate photochemistry. This enhancement is accomplished either by the action of the large optical fields produced in the vicinity of plasmonic nanostructures or mediated by the energetic electrons and holes surviving transiently following the dephasing of the plasmon. This article traces the early contributions to the foundation of the current field of plasmonics by two scientists working in Canada in the early 1970s, J. P. Marton at McMaster University and Welwyn Corporation and the current author while he was at the University of Toronto.

Plasmonic-active nanomaterials are of high interest to scientists because of their expanding applications in the field for medicine and energy. Chemical and biological sensors based on plasmonic nanomaterials are well-established and commercially available, but the role of plasmonic nanomaterials on photothermal therapeutics, solar cells, super-resolution imaging, organic synthesis, etc. is still emerging. The effectiveness of the plasmonic materials on these technologies depends on their stability and sensitivity. Preparing plasmonics-active nanostructured thin films (PANTFs) on a solid substrate improves their physical stability. More importantly, the surface plasmons of thin film and that of nanostructures can couple in PANTFs enhancing the sensitivity. A PANTF can be used as a transducer for any of the three plasmonic-based sensing techniques, namely, the propagating surface plasmon, localized surface plasmon resonance, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based sensing techniques. Additionally, continuous nanostructured metal films have an advantage for implementing electrical controls such as simultaneous sensing using both plasmonic and electrochemical techniques. Although research and development on PANTFs have been rapidly advancing, very few reviews on synthetic methods have been published. In this review, we provide some fundamental and practical aspects of plasmonics along with the recent advances in PANTFs synthesis, focusing on the advantages and shortcomings of the fabrication techniques. We also provide an overview of different types of PANTFs and their sensitivity for biosensing.

AbstractSurface plasmon polaritons and their localized counterparts, surface plasmons, are widely used at visible and near-infrared (near-IR) frequencies to confine, enhance, and manipulate light on the subwavelength scale. At these frequencies, surface plasmons serve as enabling mechanisms for future on-chip communications architectures, high-performance sensors, and high-resolution imaging and lithography systems. Successful implementation of plasmonics-inspired solutions at longer wavelengths, in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) frequency range, would benefit a number of highly important technologies in health- and defense-related fields that include trace-gas detection, heat-signature sensing, mimicking, and cloaking, and source and detector development. However, the body of knowledge of visible/near-IR frequency plasmonics cannot be easily transferred to the mid-IR due to the fundamentally different material response of metals in these two frequency ranges. Therefore, mid-IR plasmonic architectures for subwavelength light manipulation require both new materials and new geometries. In this work we attempt to provide a comprehensive review of recent approaches to realize nano-scale plasmonic devices and structures operating at mid-IR wavelengths. We first discuss the motivation for the development of the field of mid-IR plasmonics and the fundamental differences between plasmonics in the mid-IR and at shorter wavelengths. We then discuss early plasmonics work in the mid-IR using traditional plasmonic metals, illuminating both the impressive results of this work, as well as the challenges arising from the very different behavior of metals in the mid-IR, when compared to shorter wavelengths. Finally, we discuss the potential of new classes of mid-IR plasmonic materials, capable of mimicking the behavior of traditional metals at shorter wavelengths, and allowing for true subwavelength, and ultimately, nano-scale confinement at long wavelengths.

AbstractPlasmon in graphene possesses many unique properties. It originates from the collective motion of massless Dirac fermions, and the carrier density dependence is distinctively different from conventional plasmons. In addition, graphene plasmon is highly tunable and shows strong energy confinement capability. Most intriguingly, as an atom-thin layer, graphene and its plasmon are very sensitive to the immediate environment. Graphene plasmons strongly couple to polar phonons of the substrate, molecular vibrations of the adsorbates, and lattice vibrations of other atomically thin layers. In this review, we present the most important advances in graphene plasmonics field. The topics include terahertz plasmons, mid-infrared plasmons, plasmon-phonon interactions, and potential applications. Graphene plasmonics opens an avenue for reconfigurable metamaterials and metasurfaces; it is an exciting and promising new subject in the nanophotonics and plasmonics research field.

AbstractA single photon can be coupled to collective charge oscillations at the interfaces between metals and dielectrics forming a single surface plasmon. The electromagnetic near-fields induced by single surface plasmons offer new degrees of freedom to perform an exquisite control of complex quantum dynamics. Remarkably, the control of quantum systems represents one of the most significant challenges in the field of quantum photonics. Recently, there has been an enormous interest in using plasmonic systems to control multiphoton dynamics in complex photonic circuits. In this review, we discuss recent advances that unveil novel routes to control multiparticle quantum systems composed of multiple photons and plasmons. We describe important properties that characterize optical multiparticle systems such as their statistical quantum fluctuations and correlations. In this regard, we discuss the role that photon-plasmon interactions play in the manipulation of these fundamental properties for multiparticle systems. We also review recent works that show novel platforms to manipulate many-body light-matter interactions. In this spirit, the foundations that will allow nonexperts to understand new perspectives in multiparticle quantum plasmonics are described. First, we discuss the quantum statistical fluctuations of the electromagnetic field as well as the fundamentals of plasmonics and its quantum properties. This discussion is followed by a brief treatment of the dynamics that characterize complex multiparticle interactions. We apply these ideas to describe quantum interactions in photonic-plasmonic multiparticle quantum systems. We summarize the state-of-the-art in quantum devices that rely on plasmonic interactions. The review is concluded with our perspective on the future applications and challenges in this burgeoning field.

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be generated in graphene at frequencies in the mid-infrared to terahertz range, which is not possible using conventional plasmonic materials such as noble metals. Moreover, the lifetime and confinement volume of such SPPs are much longer and smaller, respectively, than those in metals. For these reasons, graphene plasmonics has potential applications in novel plasmonic sensors and various concepts have been proposed. This review paper examines the potential of such graphene plasmonics with regard to the development of novel high-performance sensors. The theoretical background is summarized and the intrinsic nature of graphene plasmons, interactions between graphene and SPPs induced by metallic nanostructures and the electrical control of SPPs by adjusting the Fermi level of graphene are discussed. Subsequently, the development of optical sensors, biological sensors and important components such as absorbers/emitters and reconfigurable optical mirrors for use in new sensor systems are reviewed. Finally, future challenges related to the fabrication of graphene-based devices as well as various advanced optical devices incorporating other two-dimensional materials are examined. This review is intended to assist researchers in both industry and academia in the design and development of novel sensors based on graphene plasmonics.

The ability of localized surface plasmons to squeeze light and engineer nanoscale electromagnetic fields through electron-photon coupling at dimensions below the wavelength has turned plasmonics into a driving tool in a variety of technological applications, targeting novel and more efficient optoelectronic processes. In this context, the development of active control of plasmon excitations is a major fundamental and practical challenge. We propose a mechanism for fast and active control of the optical response of metallic nanostructures based on exploiting quantum effects in subnanometric plasmonic gaps. By applying an external dc bias across a narrow gap, a substantial change in the tunneling conductance across the junction can be induced at optical frequencies, which modifies the plasmonic resonances of the system in a reversible manner. We demonstrate the feasibility of the concept using time-dependent density functional theory calculations. Thus, along with two-dimensional structures, metal nanoparticle plasmonics can benefit from the reversibility, fast response time, and versatility of an active control strategy based on applied bias. The proposed electrical manipulation of light using quantum plasmonics establishes a new platform for many practical applications in optoelectronics.

The inherent thinness of two-dimensional 2D materials limits their efficiency of light-matter interactions and the high loss of noble metal plasmonic nanostructures limits their applicability. Thus, a combination of 2D materials and plasmonics is highly attractive. This review describes the progress in the field of 2D plasmonics, which encompasses 2D plasmonic materials and hybrid plasmonic-2D materials structures. Novel plasmonic 2D materials, plasmon-exciton interaction within 2D materials and applications comprising sensors, photodetectors and, metasurfaces are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
A major challenge in modern photonics and nano-optics is the diffraction limit of light which does not allow field localisation into regions with dimensions smaller than half the wavelength. Localisation of light into nanoscale regions (beyond its diffraction limit) has applications ranging from the design of optical sensors and measurement techniques with resolutions as high as a few nanometres, to the effective delivery of optical energy into targeted nanoscale regions such as quantum dots, nano-electronic and nano-optical devices. This field has become a major research direction over the last decade. The use of strongly localised surface plasmons in metallic nanostructures is one of the most promising approaches to overcome this problem. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to investigate the linear and non-linear propagation of surface plasmons in metallic nanostructures. This thesis will focus on two main areas of plasmonic research –– plasmon nanofocusing and plasmon nanoguiding.
Plasmon nanofocusing – The main aim of plasmon nanofocusing research is to focus plasmon energy into nanoscale regions using metallic nanostructures and at the same time achieve strong local field enhancement. Various structures for nanofocusing purposes have been proposed and analysed such as sharp metal wedges, tapered metal films on dielectric substrates, tapered metal rods, and dielectric V-grooves in metals. However, a number of important practical issues related to nanofocusing in these structures still remain unclear. Therefore, one of the main aims of this thesis is to address two of the most important of issues which are the coupling efficiency and heating effects of surface plasmons in metallic nanostructures. The method of analysis developed throughout this thesis is a general treatment that can be applied to a diversity of nanofocusing structures, with results shown here for the specific case of sharp metal wedges. Based on the geometrical optics approximation, it is demonstrated that the coupling efficiency from plasmons generated with a metal grating into the nanofocused symmetric or quasi-symmetric modes may vary between ~50% to ~100% depending on the structural parameters. Optimal conditions for nanofocusing with the view to minimise coupling and dissipative losses are also determined and discussed. It is shown that the temperature near the tip of a metal wedge heated by nanosecond plasmonic pulses can increase by several hundred degrees Celsius. This temperature increase is expected to lead to nonlinear effects, self-influence of the focused plasmon, and ultimately self-destruction of the metal tip. This thesis also investigates a different type of nanofocusing structure which consists of a tapered high-index dielectric layer resting on a metal surface. It is shown that the nanofocusing mechanism that occurs in this structure is somewhat different from other structures that have been considered thus far. For example, the surface plasmon experiences significant backreflection and mode transformation at a cut-off thickness. In addition, the reflected plasmon shows negative refraction properties that have not been observed in other nanofocusing structures considered to date.
Plasmon nanoguiding – Guiding surface plasmons using metallic nanostructures is important for the development of highly integrated optical components and circuits which are expected to have a superior performance compared to their electronicbased counterparts. A number of different plasmonic waveguides have been considered over the last decade including the recently considered gap and trench plasmon waveguides. The gap and trench plasmon waveguides have proven to be difficult to fabricate. Therefore, this thesis will propose and analyse four different modified gap and trench plasmon waveguides that are expected to be easier to fabricate, and at the same time acquire improved propagation characteristics of the guided mode. In particular, it is demonstrated that the guided modes are significantly screened by the extended metal at the bottom of the structure. This is important for the design of highly integrated optics as it provides the opportunity to place two waveguides close together without significant cross-talk. This thesis also investigates the use of plasmonic nanowires to construct a Fabry-Pérot resonator/interferometer. It is shown that the resonance effect can be achieved with the appropriate resonator length and gap width. Typical quality factors of the Fabry- Pérot cavity are determined and explained in terms of radiative and dissipative losses. The possibility of using a nanowire resonator for the design of plasmonic filters with close to ~100% transmission is also demonstrated.
It is expected that the results obtained in this thesis will play a vital role in the development of high resolution near field microscopy and spectroscopy, new measurement techniques and devices for single molecule detection, highly integrated optical devices, and nanobiotechnology devices for diagnostics of living cells.

Plasmonics is a recently emerged technology that enables the compression of electromagnetic waves into miniscule metallic structures, thus enabling the focusing and routing of light on the nanoscale. Plasmonic waveguides can be used to miniaturise the size of integrated chip circuits while increasing the data transmission speed. Plasmonic waveguides are used to route the plasmons around a circuit and are a major focus of this thesis. Also, plasmons are highly sensitive to the surrounding dielectric environment. Using this property we have experimentally realised a refractive index sensor to detect refractive index change in solutions.

At first, there are discussed basic terms which are necessary for description of plasmonic nanostructures and their properties. Then the resonant properties of gold nanoantennas on a fused silica substrate and in proximity of nanocrystalline diamond are addressed. FDTD simulations are used for an assesment of resonant properties and local electric field enhancement of these nanostructures. Possible manufacturing methods of the antennas and techniques for the measurement of their properties are mentioned at the end of the thesis.

Tailoring surface plasmon (SP) resonances using metallic nanostructures for optical manipulation has been widely investigated in recent years; and there are many puzzles yet to be solved in this relatively new area. This thesis covers the study of the interaction of light with SP-supporting planar/patterned metallo-dielectric multilayer structures. Two separate, but closely related subjects were investigated using such structures, which are: SP-assisted optical transmission and optical metamaterials. The physical mechanisms of the SP-assisted transmission phenomenon were studied using planar/grating and planar/hole-array multilayer structures. Extraordinary light transmission has been demonstrated through experimental work and simulations for both arrangements; and the effects of different structural parameters on the transmission efficiencies of the structures were analyzed systematically. The interplays of the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in the extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) phenomenon were identified. The potential of the planar/hole-array multilayer structures as optical magnetic metamaterials was evaluated using two independent electromagnetic simulation techniques. The ability of such structures to produce strong magnetic resonances from infrared down to visible side of spectrum was revealed. The methods of tuning the magnetic response of the structures were suggested. A novel design of optical metamaterial based on high-order multipolar resonances in a single-layer plasmonic structure was also proposed. Numerical results from two different computation methods indicate that a simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability can be achieved in such a structure.

We explore the effects of surface plasmon hybridization in graphene nanostructures and silver nanoparticles as applied to novel plasmonic phenomena. The analysis is based on the theory of surface plasmon hybridization under the boundary charges method. This method, which is based in the electrostatic approximation, has been largely used to predict the resonant frequencies in strongly coupled nanoparticle clusters. Here, we extend this formalism to analyze novel plasmonic phenomena such as the blueshift of modes in graphene plasmonics, near-field radiation, thermal transport and plasmon-induced hot carrier generation in silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, we develop analytical solutions for graphene nanodisks and metallic spheres that allow for fast and accurate modeling. The analytic models provide the basis to derive a large number of results, including prediction of hybrid eigenmodes and bandstructures, far-field response, and near-field response under thermally induced fluctuations. We predict that the strong near-filed coupling in graphene nanodisk stacks can induce a blueshift in the resonant frequencies up to the near-infrared part of the spectrum. We find that the strong near-filed coupling between disks can also lead to large values of radiative thermal conductance when thermally induced fluctuations are included. In this regard, an enhancement over the blackbody limit of up to two and four orders of magnitude was observed for co-planar and co-axial disk configurations. The strong coupling between coplanar disks was also explored for the development of plasmonic waveguides by considering long co-planar disk arrays. It was observed that the array posseses great potential for plasmonic waveguiding, with a strong degree of confinement for disks smaller than 200 nm. Thermal activation of the guided modes showed a thermal conductivity of up to 4.5 W/m K and thermal diffusivity of up to 1:4 x 10-3 m2/s. The large values of thermal diffusivity suggest the potential of graphene disk waveguides for thermotronic interconnects. The plasmon-induced hot carrier generation in silver nanosphere dimers was also studied. The modeling considered analytical solution for metallic nanospheres, from which the electrostatic potential of each sphere was obtained. Using these results, the hot carrier generation was explored under the basis of the Fermi golden rule. The results show a large number of hot carriers at the low frequency modes. This values exceed the number of generated hot carriers on a single sphere. The energy distribution of photogenerated electrons and holes showed a large energy gap that can be explored in photocatalysis and photovoltaic energy conversion.

Full textAbstract:
The study of optical phenomena related to the strong electromagnetic response of noble metals (silver (Ag) and gold (Au) being most popular) over the last couple of decades has led to the emergence of a fast growing research area called plasmonics named after 'surface plasmons' which are electron density waves that propagate along the interface of a metal and a dielectric medium. Surface plasmons are formed by the coupling of light to the electrons on the metal surface subject to the fulfillment of certain physical conditions and they are bound to the metal surface. Depending on whether the metallic medium is a continuous film or a structure having dimensions less than or comparable to the wavelength of the exciting light, propagating or localized surface plasmons can be excited. The structure can be either a hole or an arbitrary pattern in a metal film, or a metallic particle. An array of subwavelength structures can behave as an effective homogeneous medium to incident light and this is the basis of a new class of media known as metamaterials. Metallic metamaterials enable one to engineer the electromagnetic response to incident light and provide unconventional optical properties like negative refractive index as one prominent example. Metamaterials exhibiting negative index (also called negative index materials (NIMs)) open the door for super resolution imaging and development of invisibility cloaks. However, the only problem affecting the utilization of plasmonic media to their fullest potential is the intrinsic loss of the metal, and it becomes a major issue especially at visible-near infrared (NIR) frequencies. The frequency of the surface plasmon is the same as that of the exciting light but its wavelength could be as short as that of X-rays. This property allows light of a given optical frequency to be conned into very small volumes via subwave lengthmetallic structures, that can be used to develop ecient sensors, solar cells, antennas and ultrasensitive molecular detectors to name a few applications. Also, interaction of surface plasmons excited in two or more metallic subwavelength structures in close proximity inuences the far-eld optical properties of the overall coupled system. Some eects of plasmonic interaction in certain coupled particles include polarization conversion, optical activity and transmission spectra mimicking electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) as observed in gas based atomicsy stems. In this thesis, we mainly focus on the optical properties of square arrays of certain plasmonic structures popularly researched in the last decade. The structures considered are as follows: (1) subwavelength holes of a composite hole-shape providing superior near-eld enhancement such as two intersecting circles (called' double hole') in an optically thick Au/Ag lm, (2) double layer shnets, (3) subwavelength U-shaped particles and (4) rectangular bars. The entire work is based on electromagnetic simulations using time and frequency domain methods. Au/Ag lms with periodic subwavelength holes provide extraordinarily high transmission of light at certain wavelengths much larger than the dimension of the perforations or holes. The spectral positions of the maxima depend on the shape of the hole and the intra-hole medium, thereby making such lms function as a refractive index sensor in the transmission mode. The sensing performance of the double-hole geometry is analyzed in detail and compared to rectangular holes. Fishnet metamaterials are highly preferred when it comes to constructing a NIM at optical frequencies. A shnet design that theoretically oers a negative refractive index with least losses at telecommunication wavelengths (1.4 1.5 microns) is presented. U-shaped subwavelength metallic particles, in particular single-slit split-ring resonators (SSRRs), provide a large negative response to the magnetic eld of light at a specic resonance frequency. The spectral positions of the structural resonances of the U-shaped particle can be found from its array far field transmission spectrum at normal incidence. An effort is made to clarify our understanding of these resonances with the help of localized surface plasmon modes excited in the overall particle. From an application point of view, it is found that a planar square array of SSRRs eectively functions as an optical half-wave waveplate at the main resonance frequency by creating a polarization in transmission that is orthogonal to that of incident light. A similar waveplate eect can be obtained purely by exploiting the near-eld interaction of dierently oriented neighbouring SSRRs. The physical reasons behind polarization conversion in dierent SSRR-array systems are discussed. A rectangular metallic bar having its dipolar resonance in the visible-NIR is called a nanoantenna, owing to its physical length in the order of nanometers. The excitation of localized surface plasmons, metal dispersion and the geometry of the rectangular nanoantenna make an analytical estimation of the physical length of the antenna from the desired dipolar resonance dicult. A practical map of simulated resonance values corresponding to a variation in geometrical parameters of Au bar is presented. A square array of a coupled plasmonic system comprising of three nanoantennas provides a net transmission response that mimicks the EIT effect. The high transmission spectral window possesses a peculiar dispersion profile that enables light with frequencies in that region to be slowed down. Two popular designs of such plasmonic EIT systems are numerically characterized and compared.QC 20121017

Lupetti, Mattia. "Plasmonic generation of attosecond pulses and attosecond imaging of surface plasmons." Diss., Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, 2015. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:19-183678.
Full textAbstract:
Attosecond pulses are ultrashort radiation bursts produced via high
harmonic generation (HHG) during a highly nonlinear excitation process
driven by a near infrared (NIR) laser
pulse. Attosecond pulses can be used
to probe the electron dynamics in ultrafast processes via the attosecond
streaking technique, with a resolution on the
attosecond time scale.
In this thesis it is shown that both the generation of attosecond (AS) pulses
and the probing of ultrafast processes by means of AS pulses, can
be extended to cases in which the respective driving and streaking fields are produced by
surface plasmons excited on nanostructures at NIR wavelengths.
Surface plasmons are optical modes generated by collective oscillations of the surface
electrons in resonance with an external source.
In the first part of this thesis, the idea of high harmonic generation (HHG)
in the enhanced field of a surface plasmon is analyzed in detail by means of numerical simulations.
A NIR pulse is coupled
into a surface plasmon propagating in a hollow core tapered
waveguide filled with noble gas. The plasmon field intensity
increases for decreasing waveguide radius, such that at the apex
the field enhancement is sufficient for producing high harmonic radiation.
It is shown that with this setup it is possible to generate isolated AS pulses
with outstanding spatial and temporal structure, but with an intensity of orders of magnitude smaller than in standard gas harmonic
arrangements.
In the second part, an experimental technique for the imaging
of surface plasmonic excitations on nanostructured surfaces is proposed,
where AS pulses are used to probe the surface field by means of
photoionization. The concept constitutes an
extension of the attosecond streak camera
to ``Attosecond Photoscopy'', which allows
space- and time-resolved imaging of the plasmon dynamics during
the excitation process. It is numerically demonstrated that the relevant parameters of the
plasmonic resonance buildup phase can be determined with subfemtosecond precision.
Finally, the method used for the numerical solution of
the Maxwell's equations is discussed, with
particular attention to the problem of absorbing boundary conditions.
New insights into the mathematical formulation of the absorbing
boundary conditions for Maxwell's equations are provided.Attosekundenpulse sind ultrakurze extrem-ultraviolette (XUV) Pulse, die durch einen nicht-linearen, von einer nah-infraroten (NIR) Laserquelle stimulierten Anregungsprozess erzeugt werden. Attosekundenpulse können verwendet werden, um die Elektronendynamik eines ultraschnellen Prozesses durch die ``Attosecond Streaking'' Technik zu messen, mit einer Auflösung auf der Attosekundenskala. In dieser Dissertation wird gezeigt, dass sowohl die Erzeugung von Attosekundenpulsen als auch die Messung ultraschneller Prozesse mittels Attosekundenpulse auf Fälle erweitert werden können, bei denen die Anregungs- und Streakingsfelder von Oberflächenplasmonen generiert werden, welche bei nahinfraroten Wellenlängen auf Nanostrukturen angeregt werden. Oberflächenplasmonen sind optische Moden, die aus einer kollektiven Schwingung der Elektronen an der Oberfläche in Resonanz mit einer externen Quelle entstehen. Im ersten Abschnitt dieser Dissertation wird das Konzept der High Harmonic Generation (HHG) in plasmonisch erhöhten Feldern durch numerische Simulationen analysiert. Ein NIR Puls wird mit einem Oberflächenplasmon, das sich in einem konischen, mit Edelgas gefüllten, Hohlleiter ausbreitet, gekoppelt. Die Intensität des plasmonischen Feldes steigt mit der Verringerung des Durchmessers des Hohlleiters, sodass die Felderhöhung an seiner Spitze groß genug wird, um hohe harmonische Strahlung zu generieren. Es wird nachgewiesen, dass die Herstellung von isolierten Attosekundenpulsen mit außergewöhnlichen Zeit- und Raumstrukturen möglich ist. Trotzdem ist deren Intensität um mehrere Größenordnungen niedriger als die, die in Experimenten mit fokussierten Laserpulsen erreicht werden kann. Im zweiten Abschnitt wird eine experimentelle Technik für die Abbildung plasmonischer Oberflächenanregungen vorgeschlagen, wobei Attosekundenpulse verwendet werden, um das Feld an der Oberfläche mittels ``Momentum Streaking'' der photoionisierten Elektronen zu messen. Dieses Konzept ist eine Erweiterung der ``Attosecond Streak Camera'', welches ich ``Attosecond Photoscopy'' nenne. Es ermöglicht die Abbildung eines Plasmons in Zeit und Raum während des Anregungsprozesses. Anhand von numerischen Simulationen wird es gezeigt, dass die wesentlichen Parameter des plasmonischen Resonanzaufbaus mit subfemtosekunden-Präzision bestimmt werden können. Zuletzt wird die Methode für die numerische Lösung der Maxwell-Gleichungen diskutiert, mit Fokus auf das Problem der absorbierenden Randbedingungen. Neue Einsichten in die mathematische Formulierung der Randbedingungen der Maxwell-Gleichungen werden vorgestellt.

Full textAbstract:
We have developed a general theory of the plasmonic enhancement of many-body phenomena resulting in a closed expression for the surface plasmon-dressed Coulomb interaction. It is shown that this interaction has a resonant nature. We have also demonstrated that renormalized interaction is a long-ranged interaction whose intensity is considerably increased compared to bare Coulomb interaction over the entire region near the plasmonic nanostructure. We illustrate this theory by re-deriving the mirror charge potential near a metal sphere as well as the quasistatic potential behind the so-called perfect lens at the surface plasmon (SP) frequency. The dressed interaction for an important example of a metal–dielectric nanoshell is also explicitly calculated and analyzed. The renormalization and plasmonic enhancement of the Coulomb interaction is a universal effect, which affects a wide range of many-body phenomena in the vicinity of metal nanostructures: chemical reactions, scattering between charge carriers, exciton formation, Auger recombination, carrier multiplication, etc. We have described the nanoplasmonic-enhanced Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) between quantum dots near a metal nanoshell. It is shown that this process is very efficient near high-aspect-ratio nanoshells. We have also obtained a general expression for the force exerted by an electromagnetic field on an extended polarizable object. This expression is applicable to a wide range of situations important for nanotechnology. Most importantly, this result is of fundamental importance for processes involving interaction of nanoplasmonic fields with metal electrons. Using the obtained expression for the force, we have described a giant surface-plasmoninduced drag-effect rectification (SPIDER), which exists under conditions of the extreme nanoplasmonic confinement. Under realistic conditions in nanowires, this giant SPIDER generates rectified THz potential differences up to 10 V and extremely strong electric fields up to 10^5-10^6 V/cm. It can serve as a powerful nanoscale source of THz radiation. The giant SPIDER opens up a new field of ultraintense THz nanooptics with wide potential applications in nanotechnology and nanoscience, including microelectronics, nanoplasmonics, and biomedicine. Additionally, the SPIDER is an ultrafast effect whose bandwidth for nanometric wires is 20 THz, which allows for detection of femtosecond pulses on the nanoscale.

Full textAbstract:
Récemment, la famille des dichalcogénures de métaux de transition (TMDs) (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2...) a suscité l'intérêt de nombreuses équipes de recherche en raison de leurs propriétés optiques, électroniques et spintroniques exceptionnelles. Ma thèse est centrée sur l'association de monocouches de TMDs à des nano-structures plasmoniques. Ces dernières apportent une exaltation des propriétés d'absorption, de diffusion et d'émission optiques qui peuvent être mises à profit dans divers domaines d'applications tels que l'opto-électronique, la photo-catalyse ou les capteurs. Dans une première partie je me suis intéressée à l'interaction plasmon-exciton dans des systèmes hybrides constitués de couches de MoSe2 élaborés par dépôt chimique en phase vapeur (CVD) et transférées sur les nanodisques d'or. La résonance plasmon est contrôlée par le diamètre et la séparation entre les nano-disques. Grâce à des mesures de transmission optique et de photoluminescence, et à une analyse détaillée des réponses spectrales basée sur un modèle analytique et des simulations numériques, j'ai mis en évidence un couplage de type Fano entre les plasmons de surface des nanodisques et les transitions excitoniques de MoSe2. J'ai étudié la dépendance de ce couplage en fonction de la taille des disques, du nombre de monocouches de MoSe2 déposées et aussi en fonction de la température. Une analyse quantitative des résultats a été menée en simulant numériquement non seulement le champ local plasmonique mais aussi son couplage avec le moment dipolaire des transitions excitoniques. Pour compléter l'exploration des propriétés optiques du système MoSe2@Au, je me suis intéressée à la diffusion Raman dans des conditions d'excitation résonante et non-résonante de la transition hybride plasmon-exciton. L'idée principale étant que la résonance plasmonique apporte une exaltation de la diffusion Raman par effet SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) tandis que les transitions excitoniques contribuent par l'effet Raman résonnant. Cette combinaison des résonances plasmonique et excitonique conduit à un effet SERS résonant. J'ai ainsi pu distinguer les contributions relatives de ces deux résonances, notamment grâce à l'imagerie confocale de la diffusion Raman. J'ai également montré que, dans ces conditions d'excitation résonnante de la transition plasmon-exciton, un phénomène d'hyperthermie a lieu. la modélisation par simulation numérique du champ proche optique et de la diffusion Raman a été utile pour comprendre les principaux facteurs limitatifs de l'exaltation Raman. Ensuite, la couche de MoSe2 a été utilisée comme substrat de nanoparticules d'Au. Les mesures de photoluminescence ont révélé une extinction quasi-totale de l'émission de la photoluminescence. Afin d'expliquer ce phénomène, deux possibilités ont été discutés : (i) le passage de la structure de bande électronique de la couche de TMD d'un semiconducteur à gap direct à indirect à cause de la contrainte imposée par les nanoparticules d'Au (ii) le désordre structural dû au dépôt des nanoparticules d'Au (iii) le transfert des porteurs photo- générés du semiconducteur vers le métal. Grâce aux mesures Raman, et à l'émission radiative des nanoparticules d'Au, j'ai mis en évidence un phénomène de transfert de charges entre le semi conducteur et le métal. Pour compléter les interprétations proposées, j'ai mené une étude comparative avec les propriétés optiques de couche de TMD couvertes \nolinebreak de silice. Ce travail de thèse a été mené au sein du groupe NeO du CEMES et dans le cadre d'une collaboration avec le groupe du Professeur Jun Lou de l'université de Rice à HoustonTransition metal dichalcogenide materials (TMDs) are increasingly gaining attention, due to their unique optical, spintronic, and electronic properties. These properties result from the ultimate confinement in 2D monolayers of a direct band-gap semiconductor and the lack of inversion symmetry in the crystallographic structure. To control and enhance the optical response of these materials, it is interesting to integrate them with plasmonic nano-resonators. The TMDs/plasmonic hybrid systems have been extensively studied for plasmon-enhanced optical signals, photocatalysis, photodetectors, and solar cells. In this context, this thesis deals with the interaction between TMD monolayers and gold nanostructures. In a first part, an hybrid system composed of CVD grown MoSe2 monolayers transferred on gold nanodisks was studied. Surface plasmon resonance was tuned by controlling the nanodisks size and the inter-disks separation. The optical properties of the nanostructures are probed by means of spatially resolved optical transmission and photoluminescence spectroscopies. Fano-type coupling regime between the surface plasmon of the gold nanodisks and the MoSe2 exciton was evidenced by a quantitative analysis of the optical extinction spectra based on an analytical model. Our interpretations were supported by numerical simulations. The number of MoSe2 monolayer dependence as well as the Temperature dependence of the plasmon-exciton interaction was investigated. Our results were quantatively analysed on the nanometric scale by studying the local electromagnetic near-field and the excitonic transition dipole momentum interaction. Furthermore, the Raman scattering of MoSe2@Au system was carried out. A particular situation was investigated where a resonant interaction between the surface plasmon of nanodisks and A exciton of v occur. The contribution of these two resonances leads to a resonant surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERRS) effect. The Raman Scattering excitation is selected to resonantly excite the Surface Plasmon resonance and MoSe2 excitonic transition simultaneously. The relative contribution of the surface Plasmon and the confined exciton to the resonant Raman scattering signal is pointed out. In this resonant condition, a hyperthermia effect was detected. Numerical simulations of the SERS gain were useful to figure out the main factors affecting the SERS intensity enhancement in MoSe2@Au. In a second part, the TMD monolayer was used as a substrate of Au nanoparticles. Au nanoislands were deposited on mono- and few-layered MoSe2 flakes. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements revealed a net quenching of the MoSe2 photoluminescence. To figure out the origin of this quenching three possibilities were discussed (i) the charge transfer between the TMD monolayer and the Au particles (ii) the direct to indirect gap transition of the TMD electronic band structure caused by the strain induced by the metal deposition (iii) structural disorder imparted by the nanoparticles in the TMD/metal interface. Owing to the Raman scattering measurements and using the radiative emission of the gold nanoparticles, we evidenced a charge transfetrt between the metallic nanostructures and the semiconductor. In order to complement our interpretations a comparative study with respect to optical properties of TMD covered by a silica film was carried out. The present work was held within the NeO group in CEMES, in a frame of a collaboration with the group of thr Pr. Jun Lou from Rice university, Houston

This paper reports a new nanofluidic plasmonics-based sensing platform which can be readily integrated with microfluidics devices, and potentially enable an in-parallel transmission surface plasmon resonance (SPR), lab-on-chip sensing technology. The technology overcomes the current SPR size limitations through a combination of nanofluidics and nanoplasmonics in a rationally designed in-plane nanoslit array capable of concurrent plasmonic sensing and confined-flow for analyte delivery. This work is leveraged on our previous work of using nanoslit metal films for SPR sensing [1, 2], and the in-plane nanofluidic nanoplasmonic platform is different from recently reported nanohole-based nanofluidic plasmonics sensors [3, 4]. The work presented here includes an integrated device with nanofluidic nanoplasmonic arrays interfacing with microfluidic channels, and preliminary findings, from both theoretical and experimental fronts, of the device for bio-sensing.

As the next-generation technology moves below 100 nm mark, the need arises for a capability of manipulation and positioning of light on the scale of tens of nanometers. Plasmonic optics opens the door to operate beyond the diffraction limit by placing a sub-wavelength aperture in an opaque metal sheet. Recent experimental works [1] demonstrated that a giant transmission efficiency (>15%) can be achieved by exciting the surface plasmons with artificially displaced arrays of sub-wavelength holes. Moreover the effectively short modal wavelength of surface plasmons opens up the possibility to overcome the diffraction limit in the near-field lithography. This shows promise in a revolutionary high throughput and high density optical lithography. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of near-field nanolithography by exciting surface plasmon on nanostructures perforated on metal film. Plasmonic masks of hole arrays and “bull’s eye” structures (single hole surrounded by concentric ring grating) [2] are fabricated using Focused Ion Beam (FIB). A special index matching spacer layer is then deposited onto the masks to ensure high transmissivity. Consequently, an I-line negative photoresist is spun on the top of spacer layer in order to obtain the exposure results. A FDTD simulation study has been conducted to predict the near field profile [3] of the designed plasmonic masks. Our preliminary exposure test using these hole-array masks demonstrated 170 nm period dot array patterns, well beyond the resolution limit of conventional lithography using near-UV wavelength. Furthermore, the exposure result obtained from the bull’s eye structures indicated the characteristics of periodicity and polarization dependence, which confirmed the contribution of surface plasmons.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have studied intensively owing to their unique optical and electronic properties [1]. Among TMDCs, monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a direct bandgap semiconductor with strong binding energies which make it as a perfect candidate for light-matter coupling system. In the current work, we fabricated hybrid systems of MoS2 monolayers [2] and 1D plasmonic nanogrooves made of gold (Au) to study exciton-plasmon coupling, particularly the carrier transport at the coupling state (see Fig. 1(a)). The nanogrooves were suited to excite in-plane plasmons, which are different from metallic-nanoparticle-on-mirror configuration.(/p)(p)The exciton-plasmon couplings were confirmed by the reflectance measurements and the dispersion relations were plotted from the reflectance measurements as shown in Fig. 1(b). In Fig. 1(b), the plasmon-exciton coupling of the upper polariton and lower polariton were plotted as a function of detuning. The splitting energy was as large as 65 meV, which is one of the largest among the values reported so far at room temperature. The exciton-plasmon coupling has also been confirmed by the Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) which recorded the surface potentials. As shown in Fig. 1(c), while there was no surface potential change for the MoS2 on planar Au film, a surface potential shift of 13.5 meV was observed for the MoS2 on nanogroove upon laser irradiation at 532 nm. This is a direct evidence that surface potential shift was induced at the exciton-plasmon coupling. Our results indicated that the 1D plasmonic nanogrooves are appropriate structures to study exciton-plasmon coupling with large splitting energy at room temperature.

Full textAbstract:
Strong light-matter interactions involving organic semiconductors are important for a number of technical applications, including low-threshold lasing [1] and room-temperature Bose-Einstein condensates [2]. Coupling between excitons in organic semiconductors and surface plasmons results in the formation of plasmon-exciton hybridized modes, which are observed as energetic splitting in the normal modes of the coupled system (i.e., Rabi splitting) [3]. Typically, excitons with narrow resonances, such as those found in. J-aggregates, are used to achieve strong coupling, where the rate of energy exchange between excitons and plasmons in the hybrid system exceeds the decay rates of the plasmons and excitons in the isolated systems. However, for many applications, including plasmon-enhanced photovoltaics, light- emitting diodes, and spasers, coupling between plasmons and excitons within conjugated polymers is of great interest [4-6].

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) enable the light to confine to sub-wavelength space. Metallic nanostructure is often used for plasmonic device since plasmon resonance band is generally formed at visible regime. SPPs lead to several orders enhancement of incident light intensity at the metallic nanosurface. While this remarkable effect has been studied for useful application (e.g. SERS, TERS photoluminescence, etc.), it was found plasmon generated highly energetic carriers through Landau damping, referred as hot electrons and holes. The hot carrier induces chemical transformation of molecules at the plasmonic nanosurface. The fact chemically inert molecules reacted by hot carrier has been reported in the recent [1].

In recent decades, plasmonic devices are widely interested because of the capability of subwavelength confinement. The plasmon phenomena is generated by oscillation of free charges in optical frequency. Hence, the metallic component is general used in plasmonic device. Metal provides large amount of free charges and the negative real part of permittivity, which is the essential property of plasmonic material. However, the loss of metal is critical issue of the devices, which occur from the interband transition in visible and ultra-violet range. Thence, the engineering of permittivity is the important topic for plasmonic devices.
