Optical cavities with multiple tunable resonances have the potential to provide unique electromagnetic environments at two or more distinct wavelengths–critical for control of optical processes such as nonlinear generation, entangled photon generation, or photoluminescence (PL) enhancement. Here, we show a plasmonic nanocavity based on a nanopatch antenna design that has two tunable resonant modes in the visible spectrum separated by 350 nm and with line widths of ~60 nm. The importance of utilizing two resonances simultaneously is demonstrated by integrating monolayer MoS₂, a two-dimensional semiconductor, into the colloidally synthesized nanocavities. Here, we observe a 2000-fold enhancement in the PL intensity of MoS₂– which has intrinsically low absorption and small quantum yield–at room temperature, enabled by the combination of tailored absorption enhancement at the first harmonic and PL quantum-yield enhancement at the fundamental resonance.
