We propose and demonstrate an enhancement of the Raman signal additional to that provided by the surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) effect. Such an additional enhancement appears due to a resonance attributed to the existence of a surface wave at a photonic crystal (PC)/vacuum interface. Such a PC is realized as a system of alternating layers deposited on a prism, through which light enters the structure. The SERS‐active layer of aggregates of gold nanoparticles modified by dithionitrobenzoic acid is deposited on the PC/vacuum interface, where the resonant field is located. In the experiment, up to 170‐fold SERS signal enhancement is demonstrated with respect to the same SERS‐active layer deposited at a nonresonant substrate.

“…The concept of a spaser [58], [61], [62], [64], [65], [155], [300], amplifier of localized surface plasmons oscillating in metal nanoparticles arranged in a dielectric environment, further generalized to include travelling surface plasmon polaritons, turned out to be of great interest for nanophotonic applications. In addition to its vital importance for advanced optoelectronics, today they have been applied for sensing [301], [302] and biological imaging with high resolution [57]. The subsequent invention of new kinds of nanoresonators and active materials led to a family of nanolasers attracting great attention from the nanophotonics community [61], [78], [307]- [311], [155], [237]- [239], [303]- [306].…”

Recent progress in nanofabrication has led to tremendous technological developments in nanophotonics, which rely on the interaction of light with nanostructured matter. Nanophotonics has experienced a large surge of interest in recent years, from basic research to applied technology.The increased importance of extremely low-energy data processing at ultra-fast speeds has been encouraging the use of light for signal transport and processing. Energy demands and interaction time scales become smaller with the physical size of the nanostructures, hence nanophotonics opens the opportunity of integrating a large number of devices that can generate, control, modulate, sense and process light signals at ultrafast speeds and below femtojoule/bit energy levels.However, losses and diffraction pose fundamental challenges to the fundamental ability of nanophotonic structures to confine light efficiently in smaller and smaller volumes. In this framework, active nanophotonics, which combines the latest advances in nanotechnology with gain materials, has become in recent years a vital area of optics research, both from the physics, material science, and engineering standpoint. In this paper, we review recent efforts in enabling active nanodevices for lasing and optical sources, loss compensation, and to realize new optical functionalities, like -symmetry, exceptional points and nontrivial lasing based on suitably engineered distributions of gain and loss in nanostructures.

Low-Damage Reactive Ion Etching of Nanoplasmonic Waveguides with Ultrathin Noble Metal Films

Nanoplasmonic waveguides utilizing surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation have been investigated for more than 15 years and are now well understood. Many researchers make their efforts to find the best ways of using light and overcoming the speed limit of integrated circuits by means of SPPs. Here, we introduce the simulation results and fabrication technology of dielectric-metal-dielectric long-range nanoplasmonic waveguides, which consists of a multilayer stack based on ultrathin noble metals in between alumina thin films. Various waveguide topologies are simulated to optimize all the geometric and multilayer stack parameters. We demonstrate the calculated propagation length of Lprop = 0.27 mm at the 785 nm wavelength for the Al2O3/Ag/Al2O3 waveguides. In addition, we numerically show the possibility to eliminate signal cross-talks (less than 0.01%) between two crossed waveguides. One of the key technology issues of such waveguides’ nanofabrication is a dry, low-damage-etching of a multilayer stack with extremely sensitive ultrathin metals. In this paper, we propose the fabrication process flow, which provides both dry etching of Al2O3/Au(Ag)/Al2O3 waveguides nanostructures with high aspect ratios and non-damage ultrathin metal films patterning. We believe that the proposed design and fabrication process flow provides new opportunities in next-generation photonic interconnects, plasmonic nanocircuitry, quantum optics and biosensors.
