Heterogeneous plasmonic trimers for enhanced nonlinear optical absorption
A dramatic enhancement of the thermally induced nonlinear optical response in compositionally heterogeneous plasmonic trimers is reported. It is demonstrated numerically that the nonlinear absorption performance of silver nanoparticle dimers under pulsed illumination can be enhanced by more than two orders of magnitude through the addition of only 0.1 vol. % of gold in the dimer gap. The nonlin...
متن کاملEnhanced nonlinear optical effects with a tapered plasmonic waveguide.
Infrared surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are concentrated in a laterally tapered planar Ag waveguide. The near field of SPPs excited with 1490 nm light at a Ag-sapphire interface is probed using the photoluminescence of upconverted Er ions at 550 and 660 nm. SPP interference patterns are observed that exhibit clear evidence of SPP concentration toward the taper end. The concentration leads to...
متن کاملNonlinear optical model for strip plasmonic waveguides
This paper presents a theoretical model of nonlinear optical properties for strip plasmonic waveguides. The particular waveguides geometry that we investigate contains a gold core, adhesion layers, and silicon dioxide cladding. It is shown that the third-order susceptibility of the gold core significantly depends on the layer thickness and has the dominant contribution to the effective third-or...
متن کاملPlasmonic enhanced two-photon absorption in silicon photodetectors for optical correlators in the near-infrared.
A high-density array of plasmonic coaxial nanoantennas is used to enhance the two-photon absorption (TPA) process in a conventional silicon photodetector from a mode-locked 76 MHz Ti:sapphire laser over a spectral range from 1340 to 1550 nm. This enhanced TPA was used to generate an interferometric autocorrelation trace of a 150 fs laser pulse. Unlike second-harmonic generation, this technique ...
متن کاملPlasmon-enhanced photothermal response in heterogeneous metallic trimers
Heat generation in plasmonic nanostructures has attracted enormous attention due to the ability of these nanostructures to generate high temperatures in nanoscale volumes using far-field irradiation, enabling applications ranging from photothermal therapy to fast (sub-nanosecond) thermal optical switching. Here we investigate the optical and thermal response of a heterogeneous trimer structure ...
