The radiated power enhancement and more congregated radiation of a radiating dipole within a GaN material when it is coupled with the localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance modes induced on a surface Ag nanoparticle (NP) are numerically demonstrated. The numerical study is based on an algorithm including the induction of LSP resonance on the Ag NP by the source dipole and the feedback effect of the LSP resonance field on the source dipole behavior. The spectral peaks of radiated power enhancement correspond to the substrate LSP resonance modes with mode fields mainly distributed around the bottom of the Ag NP such that the coupling system radiates mainly into the GaN half-space. By moving the radiating dipole laterally away from the bottom of the Ag NP, the spectral peaks of radiated power enhancement red shift and their levels diminish with increasing lateral distance. The radiation patterns in the GaN half-space show more congregated radiation around the vertical direction, indicating that the light extraction efficiency can be enhanced in an LSP-coupled light-emitting device with surface metal NPs.

Article Synopsis
  • * SLRs offer advantages like narrower bandwidths and enhanced electric fields compared to LSPs, which are essential for creating efficient optical devices, with grazing diffracted orders playing a key role in their properties.
  • * The study utilizes both experimental and theoretical methods, including simulations of gold disk arrays, to show that SLR characteristics are closely linked to the efficiency of diffracted modes, emphasizing the importance of inter-particle spacing for optimizing performance in photonic applications.

Plasmonic nanostructure arrays, designed for performance as pixels in an advanced SERS imaging device, were fabricated by gallium focused ion beam (FIB). Though the FIB is best suited for etching holes and negative structures, our previously reported simulations favor protrusions. Herein, we report on the FIB methodology to "sculpt" positive structures by "ion-blasting" away the surrounding material.

The manipulation of femtosecond plasmon resonance and lifetime in a nanoantenna is crucial for the realization of integrated and miniaturized plasmonic circuits. Here, we have used FDTD simulations to study the plasmonic resonance and lifetime variation of the far-end (P) and near-end (P) hotspots of size-gradient nanoresonators. We found that the near-field spectrum of P is red-shifted compared to P due to the phase retardation effect.

The practical applications of microbolometers in CMOS technology face challenges since the thermometer layers in microbolometers are typically of low IR absorption coefficients. In this paper, we demonstrate the integration of IR metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic absorber on the CMOS resistive-type microbolometers to maximize the optical detectivity. The MIM absorbers utilize Al metals and SiO dielectric films in the standard CMOS process and the configuration is numerically simulated and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of high IR absorption through propagating surface plasmon (PSP) resonance and localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance.

We investigated hybrid functional transparent conductive electrodes (HFTCEs) composed of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) for the enhancement of output efficiency in GaN-based ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UVLEDs). The HFTCEs demonstrated an optical transmittance of 69.5% at a wavelength of 380 nm and a sheet resistance of 16.
