Light transmission along dispersive plasmonic gap with varied gap widths and its subwavelength guidance characteristics are numerically investigated over a wide frequency range. Mode numbers for each guided modes of the dispersive plasmonic gaps are properly assigned in order to be in consistency with the parallel plate waveguide composed of the perfect electric conductor. Overall and salient features of the role of the gap widths on the guided propagation characteristics are clearly understood by investigating several dispersion curves of varied gap widths. Cutoff frequency downshifts of the dispersive plasmonic gap compared with the perfect electric conductor based parallel plate waveguides are also observed. Finally, surface plasmon polariton modes having subwavelength guidance capability are described in more detail, which are directly governed by the plasmonic property of the metals. The results are expected to be utilized in designing various potential subwavelength nanophotonic devices.

Recently, a new plasmon mode, the nodal-line plasmon, was discovered in ZrSiS, which provides promising possibilities for plasmonics or optics. However, there remains a lack of research on the surface plasmon (SP) properties and carrier transport characteristics of ZrSiS. In this paper, we conduct an in-depth study of these properties and compare them with the traditional SP material Au.

These phenomena include photonic topological states and magic-angle lasing, which offer an attractive platform for manipulating the flow and confinement of light from remarkably simple device geometries. In this work, we fabricate a series of metallic moiré superlattices supporting moiré plasmon polaritons and explore the moiré-potential induced plasmonic resonances.

Dispersion curve analysis demonstrates cavity and surface plasmon modes in the 1D nanograting chips with periods of 400 nm and 800 nm. In this grating period range, the cut-off period is at a grating period of 644 nm under excitation with a wavelength of 670 nm.

In this article, what we believe to be a novel dielectric-metal hybrid structure localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor for ultra-trace detection of Pb is proposed, featuring a zinc sulfide layer, silver nanodisks (Ag-disks), and graphene oxide (GO) covering the Ag-disks. The sensor works by detecting the variation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on its surface when Pb cleaves a substrate strand linked to a DNAzyme, causing the AuNPs modified on the substrate strand to disperse.

All-optical theranostic systems are sought after in nanomedicine, since they combine in a single platform therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities. Commonly in these systems the therapeutic and diagnostic/imaging functions are accomplished with plasmonic photothermal agents and luminescent nanoparticles (NPs), respectively. For maximized performance and minimized side effects, these two modalities should be independently activated, , in a decoupled way, using distinct near infrared (NIR) wavelengths: a radiation window wherein photon-tissue interaction is reduced.
