Hybrid photonic-plasmonic mode-coupling induced enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of CdS/CdSe quantum emitters

A hybrid photonic-plasmonic resonator based on a partially encapsulated 1D photonic crystal waveguide and a plasmonic nanoparticle

“…In the scientific literature, various hybrid photonic-plasmonic structures have been demonstrated to enhance spontaneous emission rate of the fluorescent quantum sources [ 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Some conceptually successful hybrid resonators based on 2D photonic crystal cavities with plasmonic nanoparticles have also been unveiled to enhance radiation efficiency [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Transverse anderson localization of light waves through Au nanoparticles in a 3D optical waveguide

“…The waveguide is produced via the capillary action by drawing the solution with Au nanoparticles into the air hole of a fused-silica tube. In light-matter interaction systems, Ag or Au nanoparticles are typically utilized to concentrate light waves around the metallic nanoparticles to enhance light confinement through the plasmonic effect [5][6][7]. However, here in this work, Au nanoparticles function as scattering centers to trap the electromagnetic fields at artificial loops, which are so called Anderson localized cavities.…”

Statistical measurements of the density of photon states in randomly formed Au nanoparticle clusters

“…The localized density of electromagnetic states (LDOS), which is regarded as a crucial metric for defining the optical characterizations of the complex systems, can be considerably altered through the interaction of quantum light emitters with strong plasmonic fields induced by the plasmonic nanoparticles [1][2][3][4]. Because they can generate localized surfaceplasmon modes and exhibit rapid changes in their optical properties when multiscale plasmonic clusters arise, random plasmonic media make great candidates for monitoring the significant changes in the LDOS [5].…”
