Advanced hybrid plasmonic nano-emitters using smart photopolymer

The integration of nano-emitters into plasmonic devices with spatial control and nanometer precision has become a great challenge. In this paper, we report on the use smart polymer to selectively immobilize specific preselected sites gold nanocubes (GNCs). cunning is twofold. First, it records both selected site future emitters–GNC distance through plasmon-assisted photopolymerization. Second, because chemically functionalized, makes possible attach right at polymerized sites, which subsequently recognize be attached. Since resulting active medium memory modes, anisotropic, making hybrid nanosources sensitive light polarization. ability adjust their statistical average lifetime by controlling thickness nanopolymer demonstrated two kinds coupled GNCs: doped polystyrene nanospheres semiconductor colloidal quantum dots.
