Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The unique optical properties of surface plasmons (SPs) have led to many important applications in multidisciplinary fields, such as chemistry, biology, materials, renewable energy, and information sciences and technologies. Plasmonic sensors, stemming from the local electromagnetic (EM) field enhancement and the ultra-sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to the surrounding medium, have seen prosperous growth in recent years. Plasmonics can remarkably enhance the interaction strength between photons and materials, spurring the fast-growing developments of plasmon-enhanced fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, heat generation, photoacoustics, photocatalysis, nonlinear optics, solar energy conversion, and so on.

  • Plasmonic meta-surface
  • Fiber-optic-based plasmonic sensor
  • Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
  • Surface-enhanced infrared absorption
  • Plasmonic based devices
  • Plasmonic-enhanced light–matter interactions

Plasmonic materials currently have a plethora of applications. How would a dielectric matrix, such as diblock copolymers, tune plasmonic properties? In this work, self-assembled gold nanoparticles were fabricated in medium vacuum conditions on heated Corning glass substrates (kept at 440 °C) under the coexistence of argon and air by means of DC magnetron sputtering. These samples were compared structurally and optically to samples deposited at room temperature and post annealed. Subsequently, the better of the two preparations, those deposited on heated glass, were covered with three different polymers, namely: Polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (PS-b-PBD-b-PS); Polystyrene-co-methyl methacrylate (PS-co-PMMA); and Polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block-polystyrene (PS-b-PI-b-PS), by means of spin coating. Localized surface plasmon resonances were recorded and analyzed, respectively, for polymer-covered gold nanoparticles, with the width, intensity, and position of the resonances changing according to multiple factors, such as the nanoparticles size and the refractive index of each polymer. Lastly, for purposes of justification and comparison with the experimental results, rigorous theoretical calculations have been carried out. Full article

In this paper, we proposed a polarization-independent terahertz surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on an angular cyclic element structure. The biosensor has the advantages of high sensitivity detection and high stability against the polarization change of incident terahertz light. Based on the principle that the spatial longitudinal electric field of the SPR biosensor is nonlinear and sensitive to the dielectric constant of the sample, we theoretically proved that specific nonlinear response curves with certain saturating speed and amplitude can be formed to identify different samples. The biosensor was applied to identify Panax (notoginseng, ginseng and American ginseng, 48 samples each) and Paeonia (white peony and red peony, 48 samples each) with the accuracy of 95.8% and 94.4%, respectively. The standard deviations (SD) were less than 0.347% and 0.403%, respectively. Therefore, the polarization-independent terahertz biosensor can rapidly and accurately identify Panax species and Paeonia species. These results provide a new reference for rapid and low-cost identification of medicine species. Full article

In this paper, a plasmonic electro-optical encoder based on graphene at THz frequency is proposed. The surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in the graphene–insulator–metal structure are excited by an incident TM wave with a wavelength of 9.3 μm. Graphene plasma waveguides have extremely high confinement, relatively low losses, and high tunability. The switching mechanism is based on the application of an external voltage to locally change the chemical potential of the graphene for encoding. Setting the chemical potential to 1 eV allows SPPs to propagate while lowering the chemical potential to 0.1 eV prevents the SPPs from propagating. A 4 × 2 encoder with a minimum encoding extinction ratio (ER) of 37 dB, a maximum modulation depth (MD) of 99.99%, and a structure area of 0.8 μm2 is proposed based on the design rules and simulations using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. In terms of the obtained results, the proposed structure can be used in optical integrated circuits. Full article

The effect of the Goos-Hanchen (GH) angular shift for a visible light beam under the excitation of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in a metal subwavelength grating has been investigated. Extremely large angular GH shifts have been demonstrated for a subwavelength grating with an optimal depth. The high sensitivity of the beam shape transformation and the GH shift to a change in the angle of incidence near the SPR has been shown by rigorous electromagnetic simulation and demonstrated experimentally. The focusing of the reflected beam near the subwavelength grating surface has been demonstrated. Full article
