Near Field Scanning

This work studies a new design of a near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) probe based on a ZnO nanowire sub-wavelength waveguide terminated with a plasmonic gold nanoparticle. Three-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation is used to visualize light guiding in the nanowire and near field coupling between the plasmonic nanoparticle and the substrate. The simulation results reveal local field enhancement at the gap between the nanoparticle and a gold substrate when the nanowire axis is tilted from the substrate normal by a small angle. The enhancement occurs only along the cross section plane that is parallel to the polarization of the excitation laser beam. The regime of field enhancement is much smaller than the diameter of the 100 nm plasmonic particle, making the nanowire probe well suited for NSOM with superior spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio compared to the state of the art.

AbstractPlasmonic nanocavities comprised of metal film-coupled nanoparticles have emerged as a versatile nanophotonic platform benefiting from their ultrasmall mode volume and large Purcell factors. In the weak-coupling regime, the particle-film gap thickness affects the photoluminescence (PL) of quantum emitters sandwiched therein. Here, we investigated the Purcell effect-enhanced PL of monolayer MoS2 inserted in the gap of a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)–alumina (Al2O3)–gold film (Au Film) structure. Under confocal illumination by a 532 nm CW laser, we observed a 7-fold PL peak intensity enhancement for the cavity-sandwiched MoS2 at an optimal Al2O3 thickness of 5 nm, corresponding to a local PL enhancement of ∼350 by normalizing the actual illumination area to the cavity’s effective near-field enhancement area. Full-wave simulations reveal a counterintuitive fact that radiation enhancement comes from the non-central area of the cavity rather than the cavity center. By scanning an electric dipole across the nanocavity, we obtained an average radiation enhancement factor of about 65 for an Al2O3 spacer thickness of 4 nm, agreeing well with the experimental thickness and indicating further PL enhancement optimization. Our results indicate the importance of configuration optimization, emitter location and excitation condition when using such plasmonic nanocavities to modulate the radiation properties of quantum emitters.
