Enhancing Diamond Color Center Fluorescence via Optimized Configurations of Plasmonic Core-Shell Nanoresonator Dimers.

ABSTRACT: Numerical optimization of silica-metal core-shell nanoresonator dimer geometries was realized to maximize the fluorescence of the NV and SiV diamond color centers. The configurations combine the advantages stemming from the elongation and reduced metal volume of hollow spheroids and the wide tunability and good antenna efficiency due to hybridization of composite modes on the core-shell dimers. The optimized coupled dimers sustain plasmonic modes that maximize the fluorescence by ensuring the simultaneous enhancement of excitation and emission. Asymmetry is advantageous in terms of good enhancement with a compromised corrected quantum efficiency. The directional fluorescence can be significantly increased in the optimized asymmetrically coupled dimer configurations.

Improved emission of SiV diamond color centers embedded into concave plasmonic core-shell nanoresonators.

Project description:Configuration of three different concave silver core-shell nanoresonators was numerically optimized to enhance the excitation and emission of embedded silicon vacancy (SiV) diamond color centers simultaneously. Conditional optimization was performed to ensure ~20-30-40 and 50% apparent quantum efficiency (cQE) of SiV color centers. The enhancement spectra, as well as the near-field and charge distribution were inspected to uncover the underlying nanophotonical phenomena. The conditionally optimized coupled systems were qualified by the product of the radiative rate enhancements at the excitation and emission, which is nominated as P x factor. The optimized spherical core-shell nanoresonator containing a centralized emitter is capable of enhancing the emission considerably via bonding dipolar resonance. The P x factor is 529-fold with 49.7% cQE at the emission. Decentralization of the emitter leads to appearance of higher order nonradiative multipolar modes. Transversal and longitudinal dipolar resonance of the optimized ellipsoidal core-shell resonator was tuned to the excitation and emission, which results in 6.2∙105 P x factor with 50.6% cQE at the emission. Rod-shaped concave core-shell nanoresonators exploit similar transversal and longitudinal dipolar resonance, moreover they enhance the fluorescence more significantly due to their antenna-like geometry. P x factor indicating 8.34∙105 enhancement is achievable while the cQE is 50.3% at the emission.

Fluorescence quenching in plasmonic dimers due to electron tunneling.

Project description:Plasmonic nanoparticles provide an ideal environment for the enhancement of fluorescent emission. On the one hand, they locally amplify the electromagnetic fields, increasing the emitter excitation rate, and on the other hand, they provide a high local density of states that accelerates spontaneous emission. However, when the emitter is placed in close proximity to a single metal nanoparticle, the number of nonradiative states increases dramatically, causing the fluorescence to quench. It has been predicted theoretically that, through a judicious placing of the emitter, fluorescence in plasmonic nanocavities can be increased monotonically. In this article, we show that such monotonic increase is due to the use of local response approximation in the description of the plasmonic response of metal nanoparticles. We demonstrate that taking into account the electron tunneling and the nonlocality of the surrounding system via the quantum hydrodynamic theory results eventually in a quenching of fluorescence enhancement also when the emitter is placed in a nanocavity, as opposed to local response and Thomas-Fermi hydrodynamic theory results. This outcome marks the importance of considering the quantum effects, in particular, the electron tunneling to correctly describe the emission effects in plasmonic systems at nanoscale.

Modulation of surface response in a single plasmonic nanoresonator.

Project description:Scattering of light by plasmonic nanoparticles is classically described using bulk material properties with infinitesimally thin boundaries. However, because of the quantum nature of electrons, real interfaces have finite thickness, leading to nonclassical surface effects that influence light scattering in small particles. Electrical gating offers a promising route to control and study these effects, as static screening charges reside at the boundary. We investigate the modulation of the surface response upon direct electrical charging of single plasmonic nanoresonators. By analyzing measured changes in light scattering within the framework of surface response functions, we find the resonance shift well accounted for by modulation of the classical in-plane surface current. Unexpectedly, we also observed a change in the resonance width, indicating reduced losses for negatively charged resonators. This effect is attributed to a nonclassical out-of-plane surface response, extending beyond pure spill-out effects. Our experiments pave the way for electrically driven plasmonic modulators and metasurfaces, leveraging control over nonclassical surface effects.

Plasmonically Enhanced Superradiance of Broken-Symmetry Diamond Color Center Arrays Inside Core-Shell Nanoresonators.

Project description:Superradiance was demonstrated in broken-symmetry arrays of SiV diamond color centers embedded into concave plasmonic nanoresonators. The coupled configurations, including the diamond-silver (bare) and diamond-silver-diamond (coated) nanoresonators' geometry parameters as well as the emitters' azimuthal orientation and distance from the metal, were numerically optimized. An objective function consisting of the total fluorescence enhancement multiplied by the corrected emission quantum efficiency was used to design nanoresonators that promote superradiance. A larger total fluorescence enhancement was achieved via a larger number of emitters in both geometries, in coated spherical and in bare ellipsoidal nanoresonators. The superradiance performance was better in the case of a smaller number of emitters in bare spherical and coated ellipsoidal nanoresonators and in the case of a larger number of emitters in coated spherical and bare ellipsoidal nanoresonators. Ellipsoidal geometry is advantageous independent of composition and seeding. The configurations optimal for non-cooperative fluorescence enhancement and superradiance are coincidental. A radiative rate enhancement proportional to the number of emitters was found in wide spectral regions; therefore, superradiance implies N-fold enhancements coexist at excitation and emission. In ellipsoidal nanoresonators, the better superradiance achieved via a smaller quality-factor is accompanied by larger frequency pulling.

Core-Shell Plasmonic Nanohelices.

Project description:We introduce core-shell plasmonic nanohelices, highly tunable structures that have a different response in the visible for circularly polarized light of opposite handedness. The glass core of the helices is fabricated using electron beam induced deposition and the pure gold shell is subsequently sputter coated. Optical measurements allow us to explore the chiral nature of the nanohelices, where differences in the response to circularly polarized light of opposite handedness result in a dissymmetry factor of 0.86, more than twice of what has been previously reported. Both experiments and subsequent numerical simulations demonstrate the extreme tunability of the core-shell structures, where nanometer changes to the geometry can lead to drastic changes of the optical responses. This tunability, combined with the large differential transmission, make core-shell plasmonic nanohelices a powerful nanophotonic tool for, for example, (bio)sensing applications.

Magnetic-plasmonic core-shell nanoparticles.

Project description:Nanoparticles composed of magnetic cores with continuous Au shell layers simultaneously possess both magnetic and plasmonic properties. Faceted and tetracubic nanocrystals consisting of wustite with magnetite-rich corners and edges retain magnetic properties when coated with a Au shell layer, with the composite nanostructures showing ferrimagnetic behavior. The plasmonic properties are profoundly influenced by the high dielectric constant of the mixed iron oxide nanocrystalline core. A comprehensive theoretical analysis that examines the geometric plasmon tunability over a range of core permittivities enables us to identify the dielectric properties of the mixed oxide magnetic core directly from the plasmonic behavior of the core-shell nanoparticle.

Ultralight plasmonic structural color paint.

Project description:All present commercial colors are based on pigments. While such traditional pigment-based colorants offer a commercial platform for large-volume and angle insensitiveness, they are limited by their instability in atmosphere, color fading, and severe environmental toxicity. Commercial exploitation of artificial structural coloration has fallen short due to the lack of design ideas and impractical nanofabrication techniques. Here, we present a self-assembled subwavelength plasmonic cavity that overcomes these challenges while offering a tailorable platform for rendering angle and polarization-independent vivid structural colors. Fabricated through large-scale techniques, we produce stand-alone paints ready to be used on any substrate. The platform offers full coloration with a single layer of pigment, surface density of 0.4 g/m2, making it the lightest paint in the world.

Controlled synthesis of gold nanorod dimers with end-to-end configurations.

Project description:End-to-end gold nanorod dimers provide unique plasmonic hotspots with extremely large near-field enhancements in the gaps. Thereby they are beneficial in a wide range of applications, such as enhancing the emissions from ultra-weak emitters. For practical purposes, synthesis of gold nanorod dimers with high yield, especially on the substrates, is essential. Here, we demonstrate two controllable strategies to synthesize gold nanorod dimers based on the self-assembly of gold nanorods, either in bulk solution or on the surface of a glass substrate directly. Both methods can give a high yield of gold nanorod dimers, yet, assembling them directly on the substrate provides more flexibility in controlling the shape and size of each nanorod within the dimer. We also show that these gold nanorod dimers can be used to enhance two-photon-excited fluorescence signals at the single-molecule level.

Plasmonic Diamond Membranes for Ultrafast Silicon Vacancy Emission.

Project description:Silicon vacancy centers (SiVs) in diamond have emerged as a promising platform for quantum sciences due to their excellent photostability, minimal spectral diffusion, and substantial zero-phonon line emission. However, enhancing their slow nanosecond excited-state lifetime by coupling to optical cavities remains an outstanding challenge, as current demonstrations are limited to ∼10-fold. Here, we couple negatively charged SiVs to sub-diffraction-limited plasmonic cavities and achieve an instrument-limited ≤8 ps lifetime, corresponding to a 135-fold spontaneous emission rate enhancement and a 19-fold photoluminescence enhancement. Nanoparticles are printed on ultrathin diamond membranes on gold films which create arrays of plasmonic nanogap cavities with ultrasmall volumes. SiVs implanted at 5 and 10 nm depths are examined to elucidate surface effects on their lifetime and brightness. The interplay between cavity, implantation depth, and ultrathin diamond membranes provides insights into generating ultrafast, bright SiV emission for next-generation diamond devices.

Design and characterization of an optimized simultaneous color and near-infrared fluorescence rigid endoscopic imaging system.

Project description:We report the design, characterization, and validation of an optimized simultaneous color and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence rigid endoscopic imaging system for minimally invasive surgery. This system is optimized for illumination and collection of NIR wavelengths allowing the simultaneous acquisition of both color and NIR fluorescence at frame rates higher than 6.8 fps with high sensitivity. The system employs a custom 10-mm diameter rigid endoscope optimized for NIR transmission. A dual-channel light source compatible with the constraints of an endoscope was built and includes a plasma source for white light illumination and NIR laser diodes for fluorescence excitation. A prism-based 2-CCD camera was customized for simultaneous color and NIR detection with a highly efficient filtration scheme for fluorescence imaging of both 700- and 800-nm emission dyes. The performance characterization studies indicate that the endoscope can efficiently detect fluorescence signal from both indocyanine green and methylene blue in dimethyl sulfoxide at the concentrations of 100 to 185 nM depending on the background optical properties. Finally, we performed the validation of this imaging system in vivo during a minimally invasive procedure for thoracic sentinel lymph node mapping in a porcine model.
