AbstractMetal nanocluster-glass composites demonstrate unique optical properties and significant nonlinear response. In this work nanometer dimension metal colloids were formed in silica by sequential implantation of Ag and Cu ions. The Ag and Cu were implanted with relative ratios of Ag to Cu of 9:3,6:6, and 3:9 at a total nominal dose of 12xl016 ions/cm2. TEM techniques were used to examine colloid size and size distributions. The linear optical response was measured from 200 to 900 nm, while the nonlinear optical properties were measured using the z-scan technique at a wavelength of 570 nm. The linear and nonlinear optical properties were found to be dependent upon the ratio of sequentially implanted Ag to Cu and are consistent with effective medium theory.

We study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of hybrid metallic–dielectric plasmonic gap nanoantennas. Using a two-step-aligned electron beam lithography process, we demonstrate the ability to selectively and reproducibly fill the gap region of nanoantennas with dielectric nanoparticles made of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) with high efficiency. The linear optical properties of the antennas are modified due to the large refractive index of the material. This leads to a change in the coupling strength as well as an increase of the effective refractive index of the surrounding. The combination of these two effects causes a red- or blue-shift of the plasmonic modes, respectively. We find that the nonlinear optical properties of the combined system are only modified in the range of one order of magnitude. The observed changes in our experiments in the nonlinear emission can be traced to the changed dielectric environment and thus the modified linear optical properties. The intrinsic nonlinearity of the dielectric used is in fact small when compared to the nonlinearity of the metallic part of the hybrid antennas. Thus, the nonlinear signals generated by the antenna itself are dominant in our experiments. We demonstrate that the well-known nonlinear response of bulk dielectric materials cannot always straightforwardly be used to boost the nonlinear response of nanoscale antenna systems. Our results significantly deepen the understanding of these interesting hybrid systems and offer important guidelines for the design of nanoscale, nonlinear light sources.

Abstract The study presents the influence of structure modulation by introducing selected donor and acceptor substituents on optical properties of benzofuran used in biological imaging. As the starting form, 2-(5-formylbenzofuran-2-yl)acetamide described experimentally was used. This molecule contains an aldehyde group as reactive site, through which conjugation with protein occurs. Structure modulation was carried out by attaching additional electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents to the amino group, namely -NH2, -NHCH3, -NO2, -OH, and -OCH3. Studies have shown that the -NH2, -NHCH3, -OH, and -OCH3 substituents do not induce a significant change in the position of maximum absorption and fluorescence relative to each other. They also do not change the parameters describing the nonlinear response. Only the presence of the -NO2 substituent results in significant solvatochromic shifts. Changing substituents also does not significantly affect the LD50 value, and all tested fluorescent probes should not be considered toxic to humans. Modulation of the benzofuran derivative structure also does not change the active center in which the biocomplex with the protein is formed. In each case, the conjugation takes place via LYS114. In addition, the study was prompted to analyze the linear and nonlinear optical properties of conjugates formed after the reaction with Concanavalin A. Graphical abstract
