Area of Science:

  • Plasmonics
  • Nanophotonics
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Plasmonic devices are crucial for sensing and imaging but limited by optical absorption losses.
  • Existing plasmonic devices often suffer from low efficiency due to intrinsic absorption losses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer plasmonic substrates with ultra-sharp optical transmission responses using metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmon resonances.
  • To investigate and enhance the quality factor (Q-factor) and sensitivity of plasmonic substrates for multi-functional applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized analytical and numerical methods to investigate substrate optical properties.
  • Engineered nanograting periodicity, dielectric thickness, and incident angle to tune optical response and minimize radiation losses.

Main Results:

  • Achieved ultra-sharp optical transmission responses with high quality (Q)-factors up to ~40.
  • Demonstrated high refractive index sensitivity of 1245 nm/RIU for sensing applications.
  • Successfully diminished radiation losses through geometric engineering.

Conclusions:

  • Engineered MIM plasmonic substrates offer a promising platform for high-Q factor, multi-functional plasmonic applications.
  • The demonstrated substrates exhibit excellent potential for sensitive environmental sensing and advanced imaging.
  • Tailoring substrate geometry is key to overcoming intrinsic losses and enhancing plasmonic device performance.
