“…The application of such integrated optical antennas has been extended to biological imaging and spectroscopy by fabricating an integrated system in the mid-infrared region, where many biological and chemical molecules have absorption features. [53][54][55][56][57][58] This integration of optical antennas with active devices could propel lab-on-chip technology one step closer to fully integrated microsystems. 59 Recent progresses in QCLs have led to the realization of lasers with excellent properties in the mid-and long-infrared regions, where many important biomolecules have strong absorption features.…”

Remarkable progress has been made in the fabrication and characterization of optical antennas that are integrated with optoelectronic devices. Herein, we describe the fundamental reasons for and experimental evidence of the dramatic improvements that can be achieved by enhancing the light-matter interaction via an optical antenna in both photon-emitting and -detecting devices. In addition, integration of optical antennas with optoelectronic devices can lead to the realization of highly compact multifunctional platforms for future integrated photonics, such as low-cost lab-on-chip systems. In this review paper, we further focus on the effect of optical antennas on the detectivity of infrared photodetectors. One particular finding is that the antenna can have a dual effect on the specific detectivity, while it can elevate light absorption efficiency of sub-wavelength detectors, it can potentially increase the noise of the detectors due to the enhanced spontaneous emission rate. In particular, we predict that the detectivity of interband photon detectors can be negatively affected by the presence of optical antennas across a wide wavelength region covering visible to long wavelength infrared bands. In contrast, the detectivity of intersubband detectors could be generally improved with a properly designed optical antenna.

“…In particular, metamaterials with unique optical properties have attracted great interest over the last 10 years because of the wide-ranging possibilities for practical applications in laser optics, optoelectronics, chemical and biosensing, etc. [11][12][13][14] The most important contributions to the creation of such metamaterials have been obtained by using plasmonic nanostructures, such as gold and silver nanoparticles, nanorods, nanodiscs and nanoholes. [15][16][17][18][19] Most works describe metamaterials developed having static physical characteristics and only a few articles have been devoted to preparations of metamaterials that permit tuning of physical properties or, in other words, exhibit so-called 'dynamic plasmonic' behaviour.…”

Ag Nanoparticle-Poly(acrylic acid) Composite Film with Dynamic Plasmonic Properties

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) thin films with embedded Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) prepared by UV photoreduction exhibited cyclically changeable optical absorbance properties during variation of ambient aqueous medium. The observed phenomenon is due to conformational changes in the polymer matrix which leads to variation in the 3D configuration of the AgNPs ensemble. Reversible variation of the distance between nanoparticles during swelling and shrinking processes within the PAA matrix changes the optical parameters of these plasmonic metamaterials and can be considered a useful feature for optoelectronic devices and sensors. The finite-difference time-domain method was used for modelling of light extinction of developed matrix structures in their swollen and shrunken states.
