Tailoring Optical Properties of a Large-Area Plasmonic Gold Nanoring Array Pattern.


ABSTRACT: A new fabrication route, which combines nanosphere lithography with silicon-based clean-room microfabrication processes, has been developed to produce large-area long-range ordered gold nanoring array patterns in a controllable fashion. Both the experimentation and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation show that the surface plasmon resonance peak (SPR) of the nanoring array pattern can be tuned systematically in a large spectral range by varying the geometry parameters such as the ring thickness, the ring height, the ringer outer diameter, and the gap between neighboring rings. For the Au nanoring arrays with a large gap in the absence of plasmon coupling between neighboring rings, the local electromagnetic (EM) field enhancement occurs at both the outer and inner surfaces of individual nanorings; and the periodicity of Au nanoring array has no any effect on the plasmonic properties. For the Au nanoring arrays with a small gap, plasmon coupling takes place between neighboring rings. As a result, the characteristic plasmonic band is split into two new peaks corresponding to a bonding SPR mode and an antibonding SPR mode. The local EM field enhancement becomes stronger with a decrease in the gap between neighboring rings, but the SPR peaks shift away. Therefore, to maximize the surface-enhanced Raman scattering signal, the geometry parameters of the Au nanoring array need to be tuned to balance the contributions from the resonance excitation (spectral overlap) and the local EM field enhancement.
