基于高斯拟合的光纤型SPR信号的峰值检测算法

光纤型表面等离子共振光谱具有半峰宽较宽,共振峰不尖锐等特征,传统的针对棱镜型SPR光谱的峰值检测算法无法准确定位此类光谱的共振峰值。为了准确计算光纤型SPR光谱的共振波长,提出了一种基于信赖域算法的高斯拟合方法,在拟合的光谱曲线上利用一维搜索的方式确定峰值位置。通过对标准甘油光谱数据的处理,证明高斯拟合法能够适应光纤型SPR光谱的特征,波长计算准确。通过搭建的SPR系统,实验测量了不同浓度下蔗糖溶液的SPR光谱数据,并分别采用加权质心法,追踪质心法和该研究提出的高斯拟合法进行共振波长的计算。结果表明高斯拟合法能够有效提升分辨率,且运算速度较快,有利于工程集成。

Effect of dielectric coating on the sensing capability of gold nanorods based on plasmonic band widening

The dielectric coating-induced widening of the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band of gold nanorods was investigated theoretically. The line width of the longitudinal SPR could be enlarged by increasing the thickness or the dielectric constant of the coated dielectric shell. The corresponding physical origin has been illuminated by the dielectric coating-enhanced anisotropic distribution of the surface charge. This dielectric coating-dependent widening of the longitudinal SPR presents a new biologic sensing picture based on tuning the line width of the plasmonic absorption band of metallic nanostructure.     

Tuning the number of plasmon band in silver ellipsoidal nanoshell: refractive index sensing based on plasmon blending and splitting

Because of the geometric features of both rod and shell, dielectric-silver core–shell ellipsoidal nanostructure with 12–40 nm semi-major axis may bring forth four surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peaks at most. Theoretical calculations based on quasi-static approximation show that there is surrounding refractive index-dependent plasmon blending and splitting in the absorption spectra, which makes the number of plasmon band of the silver ellipsoidal nanoshell is tunable. The sensitivity of the plasmon blending and splitting to the surrounding refractive index may be improved by increasing the shell thickness, aspect ratio or core refractive index. This local refractive index dependent-plasmon blending and splitting presents a new sensing picture based on tuning the number of SPR absorption peaks.

Linear optical absorption and photoluminescence emission properties of gold nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation technique

Gold nanoparticles of average size varying between 1.1 and 3.3?nm are prepared by 1064?nm Nd:YAG laser ablation of solid gold target kept in ethylene glycol medium. The measured UV-Visible absorption spectra showed the presence of sharp absorption peaks in the UV and in the visible regions due to the interband transition and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) oscillations in Au nanoparticles, respectively. The increase in linewidth of the SPR peaks with the reduction in particle sizes is observed due to intrinsic size effects. The prepared samples exhibit photoluminescence (PL) emissions in the UV-Visible region peaked at ??354?nm due to the recombination of electrons with holes from sp conduction band to d-band of Au. The peak PL intensity in the sample prepared with 60 minutes of laser ablation time is enhanced by a factor of ??2.5 compared to that obtained in the sample prepared with a laser-ablation time duration of 15 minutes.     

Surface Plasmon Resonance and Field Enhancement of Au/Ag Alloyed Hollow Nanoshells

We investigate the nanostructure, surface plasmon resonance （SPR） absorption and nonlinear enhancement of Au/Ag alloyed hollow nanoshells prepared by the replacement reaction of Ag nanoparticles in a HAuCI4 aqueous solution. As the volume of HAuCl4 increases from OmL to 0.S mL, the SPR band of the Au/Ag alloyed nanoshells is tuned from 430nm to 780nm, and the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility is enhanced nearly by an order of magnitude, which indicates a large enhancement of local field in the Au/Ag alloyed hollow nanoshells with hole defects.     

Effect of intrinsic stress on the optical properties of nanostructured ZnO thin films grown by rf magnetron sputtering

In this paper we report the effect of deposition temperature on the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared by rf magnetron sputtering. The films grown at lower deposition temperatures were in a state of large compressive stress, whereas the films grown at higher temperature (450 °C) were almost stress free. In the absorption spectra, the ZnO excitonic and the Zn surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks have been observed. A redshift in the optical band gap of ZnO films has also been observed with the increase in the deposition temperature. The shift in the band gap calculated from the size effect did not match with the observed shift values and the observed shift has been attributed to the compressive stress present in the films.

Optical properties of sol-gel fabricated Ni/SiO2 glass nanocomposites

Nickel nanoparticles were grown in silica glass by annealing of the sol-gel prepared silicate matrices doped with nickel nitrate. TEM characterization of Ni/SiO₂ glass proves the formation of isolated spherical nickel nanoparticles with mean sizes 6.7 and 20 nm depending on annealing conditions. The absorption and photoluminescence spectra of Ni/SiO₂ glasses were measured. In the absorption spectra, we observed the band related to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in Ni nanoparticles. The broadening of SPR was observed with decrease of Ni nanoparticle size. The width of the surface plasmon band decreases 1.5 times at the lowering of temperature from 293 to 2 K because of strong electron-phonon interaction. The spectra proved the creation of nickel oxide NiO clusters and Ni²⁺ ions in silica glass as well.

We report an experimental study on the synthesis of metal nanoparticles （NPs） with adjustable optical density based on surface plasmon resonance （SPR）. Metal NPs prepared by laser ablation in liquid method and the effect of laser parameters on the size, distribution, wavelength of SPR of Ag, Au, and mixture of Ag-Au, and Ag core/Au shell NPs are investigated. Our results show that the adjustable SPR band can be achieved in each class of NPs which is suitable for adjustable optical window applications.     

Optical properties of the Au–Ag alloy nanowire coated with an anisotropic shell

The optical properties of the Au–Ag alloy nanowire coated with a cylindrical shell with radial dielectric anisotropy are investigated based on quasistatic theory. Numerical results show that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak is redshifted with increasing the component ratio of Au in the alloy, while the intensity of extinction section at the SPR increases with increasing the component ratio of Ag in the alloy. In addition, as the extent of anisotropy of the shell increases, the extinction section at SPR wavelength decreases and the SPR wavelength is redshifted, but compared with the isotropic shell consisting of comparable dielectric constant materials, the SPR has a distinct blueshift for anisotropic shell. We also find that the field enhancement can be completely concentrated inside the anisotropic shell and the electromagnetic transparency can be exhibited.

Microstructure and optical absorption of Au-MgF2 nanoparticle cermet films

The microstructure and optical absorption of Au-MgF2 nanoparticle cermet films with different Au contents are studied. The microstructural analysis shows that the films are mainly composed of the amorphous MgF2 matrix with embedded fcc Au nanoparticles with a mean size of 9.8-21.4nm. Spectral analysis suggests that the surface plasma resonance （SPR） absorption peak of Au particles appears at λ=492-537nm. With increasing Au content, absorption peak intensity increases, profile narrows and location redshifts. Theoretical absorption spectra are calculated based on Maxwell-Garnett theory and compared with experimental spectra.     

Observation of simultaneous reverse saturation absorption and saturation absorption in silver nanoparticles incorporated into europium oxide thin film

In this work, nano silver clusters incorporated into europium oxide thin films at a level of 3.8% and 12.5% have been prepared by a vacuum evaporation method on glass and silicon substrates. Samples were investigated by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and linear and nonlinear optical absorption methods. The X-ray diffraction reveals that the Eu oxide of these samples remains amorphous after pre-annealing at 400 °C. The linear optical absorption of the samples shows surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomena, which varies with the Ag content of the samples. The optical nonlinear absorption properties of the prepared films were investigated using an open Z-scan technique with cw laser at wavelengths 476 nm and 514 nm. A changeover from reverse saturation absorption (RSA) to saturation absorption (SA) was observed. RSA is attributed to interband transition via two photon absorption. SA is attributed to plasmon bleach.
