报告介绍 | 报告摘要:
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) supported on noble-metal surfaces possess larger wavevectors than that of light at the same frequency from the visible to the infrared frequency range. Therefore, noble-metal nanostructures can function as near-field transducers to compress light below the diffraction limit and to realize diffraction-unlimited applications such as plasmonic nanoantennas, nanolasers, and nanocircuits. However, the real-world applications of SPPs are very sensitive to plasmonic losses. Recently, several works, including our own, have demonstrated that ultrasmooth and single-crystalline silver epifilms as well “giant” colloidal crystals exhibit lowest plasmonic losses. Here, I will present some important applications based on these novel silver macro, meso-, and nanostructures, including ultralow-threshold and all-color plasmonic nanolasers, as well as uniform surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for quantitative single-molecule sensing. In combination with the focused ion beam milling technique, we can also fabricate high-quality plasmonic nanocavities, nanocircuits, and nanoantennas on these colloidal Ag crystals. By incorporating III-nitride semiconductor nanostructures as local coherent SPP sources (spasers) into these plasmonic structures, low-loss, active integrated plasmonic systems can become reachable in the near future.
