Title: Surface plasmons and Bloch surface waves: Towards optimized ultra-sensitive optical sensors

Abstract

In photonics, the field concentration and enhancement have been major objectives for achieving size reduction and device integration. Plasmonics offers resonant field confinement and enhancement, but ultra-sharp optical resonances in all-dielectric multi-layer thin films are emerging as a powerful contestant. Thus, applications capitalizing upon stronger and sharper optical resonances and larger field enhancements could be faced with a choice for the superior platform. Here in this paper, we present a comparison between plasmonic and dielectric multi-layer thin films for their resonance merits. We show that the remarkable characteristics of the resonance behavior of optimized dielectric multi-layers can outweigh those of their metallic counterpart.

Reflective Fiber Temperature Probe Based on Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance towards Low-Cost and Wireless Interrogation

Journal Article Su, Yang-Duan ; Leatherman, Carter Neal ; Wang, Yuankang ; ... - Sensors

Reflection fiber temperature sensors functionalized with plasmonic nanocomposite material using intensity-based modulation are demonstrated for the first time. Characteristic temperature optical response of the reflective fiber sensor is experimentally tested using Au-incorporated nanocomposite thin films deposited on the fiber tip, and theoretically validated using a thin-film-optic-based optical waveguide model. By optimizing the Au concentration in a dielectric matrix, Au nanoparticles (NP) exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption band in a visible wavelength that shows a temperature sensitivity ~0.025%/°C as a result of electron–electron and electron–phonon scattering of Au NP and the surrounding matrix.

Excitation of Bloch Surface Waves in Zero-Admittance Multilayers for High-Sensitivity Sensor Applications

Journal Article Niu, Dikai ; Zerrad, Myriam ; Lereu, Aude ; ... - Physical Review Applied

The growing need for classical as well as quantum optical sensing places increasingly stringent requirements upon the desired characteristics of the engendered fields. Specifically, achieving superior field enhancement plays a critical role in applications ranging from chem-bio sensing, Raman and infrared spectroscopies to ion trapping and qubit control in emerging quantum-information science. Due to their low optical losses and ability to exhibit resonant field enhancements, all dielectric multilayers are emerging as an optical material system not only useful to classical photonics and sensing but also of potential to be integrated with quantum materials and quantum sensing.

Ultra-sensitive surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on MoS{sub 2}–graphene hybrid nanostructure with silver metal layer

Journal Article Vahed, Hamid ; Nadri, Cyrus - Optical and Quantum Electronics

The optical biosensors based on the plasmonic technology are an important research item in the field of biophotonics. The graphene–molybdenum disulfide (MoS{sub 2}) based hybrid structures are very effective in designing and fabricating of the sensitive optical biosensors. In this paper, we propose a nanostructure Ag/MoS{sub 2}/graphene as an optical biosensor with high performance and sensitivity. The proposed configuration for this surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical biosensor is Kretschmann. Herein, the enhancement of sensitivity for the proposed SPR optical biosensor is investigated in different states. By determining of the numbers of MoS{sub 2} layer and the thickness of the metalmore »« less

Plasmonic crystals of the present invention include precisely registered and deterministically selected nonplanar crystal geometries and spatial distributions providing highly coupled, localized plasmonic responses in thin film elements and/or nanostructures of the crystal. Coupling of plasmonic responses provided by three-dimensional and quasi-three dimensional plasmonic crystal geometries and structures of the present invention generates enhanced local plasmonic field distributions useful for detecting small changes in the composition of an external dielectric environment proximatemore »« less

Less is More: Improved Thermal Stability and Plasmonic Response in Au Films via the Use of SubNanometer Ti Adhesion Layers

Journal Article Abbott, William M. ; Murray, Christopher P. ; Zhong, Chuan ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

The use of a metallic adhesion layer is known to increase the thermo-mechanical stability of Au thin films against solid-state dewetting, but in turn results in damping of the plasmonic response, reducing their utility in applications such as heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). In this work, 50 nm Au films with Ti adhesion layers ranging in thickness from 0 to 5 nm were fabricated, and their thermal stability, electrical resistivity, and plasmonic response were measured. Subnanometer adhesion layers are demonstrated to significantly increase the stability of the thin films against dewetting at elevated temperatures (>200 °C), compared to more commonly usedmore »« less
