“…This localization corresponds to a higher trapping efficiency, and it enables the trapping of 500 nm polystyrene particles, and potentially the trapping of particles down to 10 nm, which is not possible with a simple dielectric waveguide. Configurations based on the integration of plasmonic resonant cavities with dielectric waveguides and cavities have also been proposed [169][170][171][172] (Figure 17). Figure 14.…”

The ability to manipulate and sense biological molecules is important in many life science domains, such as single-molecule biophysics, the development of new drugs and cancer detection. Although the manipulation of biological matter at the nanoscale continues to be a challenge, several types of nanotweezers based on different technologies have recently been demonstrated to address this challenge. In particular, photonic and plasmonic nanotweezers are attracting a strong research effort especially because they are efficient and stable, they offer fast response time, and avoid any direct physical contact with the target object to be trapped, thus preventing its disruption or damage. In this paper, we critically review photonic and plasmonic resonant technologies for biomolecule trapping, manipulation, and sensing at the nanoscale, with a special emphasis on hybrid photonic/plasmonic nanodevices allowing a very strong light-matter interaction. The state-of-the-art of competing technologies, e.g., electronic, magnetic, acoustic and carbon nanotube-based nanotweezers, and a description of their applications are also included.

“…Such interactions may allow one to study optomechanics in the regime of cavity-quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED), which requires both the cavity mode and the vibrational mode to be treated quantum mechanically, and without adiabatic elimination. On the other hand, hybrid plasmonic devices, consisting of dielectric and metal parts, can offer extra design flexibility in terms of the resonance line shapes and cavity mode properties [24][25][26][27][28] . Although these hybrid systems involve a more complex coupling than simple MNPs or dielectric cavities, they can be advantageous for quantum plasmonics, as we will demonstrate below.…”

Molecular Optomechanics in the Anharmonic Cavity-QED Regime Using Hybrid Metal–Dielectric Cavity Modes

Using carefully designed hybrid metal-dielectric resonators, we study molecular optomechanics in the strong coupling regime (g 2 /ωm>κ), which manifests in anharmonic emission lines in the sideband-resolved region of the cavity-emitted spectrum (κ<ωm). This optomechanical strong coupling regime is enabled through a metal-dielectric cavity system that yields not only deep subwavelength plasmonic confinement, but also dielectric-like confinement rates that are more than two orders of magnitude smaller than those from typical plasmonic modes. The classical mode parameters are quantified using quasinormal mode theory, and the quantum dynamics are computed using both standard and generalized quantum master equations. These hybrid metal-dielectic cavity modes enables one to study new avenues of multi-photon quantum plasmonics through surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and is also well into the ultrastrong coupling regime (g/ωm>0.1). arXiv:1805.10153v2 [cond-mat.mes-hall]

“…The overlap between the intense subwavelength resonant mode and diffraction limited incoming waves is in general weak, alternate solutions were recently proposed to improve light conjugation into the plasmonic nanostructures. These solutions depend on the conjunction between optical dielectric resonators of higher quality factors and nanoantenna [6]. When the current hardly flows through the material.…”

Recently, the light metallic interaction of nanostructures has grown to be an area of intensive care research due to advances in modern fabrication techniques. Unique effects have been observed in a nanostructure, and their applications have been found in various areas like in the manipulation of light on the nanometer scale. In this paper Nanoantenna has been introduced and invetigated by studing the effect of changing its parameters such as (shape, length, thickness, and the gap distance between two nanostructures) on the response of the nanoantenna (far field directivity, optical resonance frequency, and S-parameter). Here, a bow tie antenna has been chosen and additional parameters have been considered in the simulation, such as antenna thickness and material, and substrate material . The simulations have been generated using computer simulation technology (CST) studio. Optical antenna is performed from a pair of nanoparticles brought in close nearness, these pairs are separated by small gap to make a high electric field in its gap region. This feature can be employed for biosensing or SERS to improve the detection limit and measure the presence of single molecules.
