“…In fact, the strong absorption and light scattering inherent in surface plasmon excitation has been used for thousands of years through the incorporation of metal particles in glass to create colorful stained glass windows and goblets [1]. More recently, surface plasmonbased photonics, or "plasmonics" [2][3][4], has been used for enhancing light-matter interaction at the nanoscale in controlling light propagation [5,6], emission [7,8], and concentration [9,10]. Research on plasmonics has become a flourishing field with numerous applications [11,12], including metamaterials and metasurfaces [13,14], sub-diffraction-limited imaging [15], lasers [16], and cloaking [17].…”

Harvesting the loss: surface plasmon-based hot electron photodetection

2016

Abstract:Although the nonradiative decay of surface plasmons was once thought to be only a parasitic process within the plasmonic and metamaterial communities, hot carriers generated from nonradiative plasmon decay offer new opportunities for harnessing absorption loss. Hot carriers can be harnessed for applications ranging from chemical catalysis, photothermal heating, photovoltaics, and photodetection. Here, we present a review on the recent developments concerning photodetection based on hot electrons. The basic principles and recent progress on hot electron photodetectors are summarized. The challenges and potential future directions are also discussed.

“…149 The use of these nanoapertures also benefits from a low increase in temperature of approximately 0.3 K, which helps limit the attraction of multiple particles to the aperture by thermophoresis and avoids damaging biological entities during manipulation. Following a similar design practice 50 nm polystyrene beads have recently been trapped in a nanoaperture on an optical fibre and manipulated in suspension over several microns 150 ( See FIG. 16).…”
