Photonic Crystal Fibre SERS Sensors Based on Silver Nanoparticle Colloid

A photonic crystal fibre （PCF） surface enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） sensor is developed based on silver nanoparticle colloid. Analyte solution and silver nanoparticles are injected into the air holes of PCF by a simple modified syringe to overcome mass-transport constraints, allowing more silver nanoparticles involved in SERS activity. This sensor offers significant benefit over the conventional SERS sensor with high flexibility, easy manufacture. We demonstrate the detection of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid （4-MBA ） molecules with the injecting way and the common dipping measurement. The injecting way shows obviously better results than the dipping one. Theoretical analysis indicates that this PCF SERS substrate offers enhancement of about 7 orders of magnitude in SERS active area.

Near-field lithography on the azobenzene polymer liquid crystal films

In this article, we reported near-field research on azobenzene polymer liquid crystal films using scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Optical writing and subsequently topographic reading of the patterns with subwavelength resolution were carried out in our experiments. Nanometer scale dots and lines were successfully fabricated on the films and the smallest dot diameter is about 120 nm. The width of the line fabricated is about 250 nm. This method is also a choice for nanolithography. The mechanism of the surface deformation on the polymer films was briefly analyzed from the viewpoint of gradient force in the optical near field. The intensity distribution of the electric field near the tip aperture was numerically simulated using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the numerical simulation results were consistent with the experimental results.     

用数值方法分析微孔激光器出射光的近场特性

微孔激光器作为应用于近场光信息存储系统中的一种新型光源，它的出射光斑的近场特性对于近场光存储是十分重要的。针对纳米孔径运用角谱进行Fox-Li数值迭代，得到不同孔径微孔激光器的基模光强分布，然后运用二维非线性时域有限差分法分析微孔激光器出射端即微孔金属膜的近场光学性质，模拟计算了不同孔径和厚度的微孔金属膜的光强近场分布，从应用于近场光存储的角度，给出反映其近场光学特性的相关数据。发现由于TM模式下金属存在局域表面等离子增强效应，使得其出射强度比TE模式高一个数量级，从而更适于作为实际中近场光存储系统和原理试验的光学头。

Improving the sensitivity of fiber-optic SPR sensor via radially polarized beam excitation

We study the sensing properties of an intensity-modulated fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance （SPR） sensor using radially polarized beam （RPB）. Because of the rotational symmetry of fiber and RPB, surface plasmon can be excited more efficiently at the sensor surface, which results in an obvious improvement of the sensitivity. Our experiments demonstrate that the sensitivity in the case of RPB illumination is three times higher than that of linearlv polarized beam illumination.

Birefringence Grating and Surface Grating in Azobenzene Polymer Liquid Crystal Films Investigated by Near—Field Optical method

The birefringence grating and the surface grating in azobenzene polymer liquid-crystal (Azo-PLC) films are studied by a near-fied scanning optical microscope.With laser irradiation,the refractive index change caused by birefringence and the sinusoidal surface profile are observed at the near-field transmittance image and the surface topography of the grating.The grating period and the peak-to-peak value of the sinusoidal surface profile are 0.8μm and 40nm,respectively.The maximum diffractive efficiency of the grating is 2% .The dynamic process of the grating formation is probed and analysed.The mass diffusion responsible for the formation of the surface grating due to the temperature rise is analysed.
