Resonant Modes of L-Shaped Gold Nanoparticles

We analyze the electric field modes excited in resonant L-shaped gold nanoparticles using a finite-difference time domain method. Compared to a single gold nanorod, both the odd and even modes of the L-shaped nanoparticles can be excited due to the symmetry breaking. The nanoparticles with equal and unequal arms have different dependence of field enhancement and mode on the incident polarization.

强超声在空化液体中的反常衰减

采用自动控制系统,逐点测量了长方形水槽内液体中不同位置的声压。研究发现,随着驱动声压的增大,近场声压持续增大,但衰减速度也加快,而远场声压会经历一个先上升后下降的反常过程。通过对容器中不同位置声压进行频谱分析,得到声波不同频率分量随传播距离的变化规律。结合频谱的分析表明,上述反常过程的原因是高驱动声压下气泡的非线性振动将更多声能量转移至衰减较快的高次谐波,从而导致远场的声压反而低于较低驱动时对应的声压。

使用100飞秒、1014 W/cm2的强激光与惰性气体Ar原子相互作用,我们利用飞行时间质谱仪结合Z扫描技术获得了各次电离的Ar原子在激光焦点附近不同位置处强度分布.测量得到的各个不同电离态Ar n+(n=1～4)的产额随激光焦点位置变化关系与不同电离态的空间分布理论预言相一致.     

飞秒时间分辨近场光学系统实现及其应用

结合飞秒光脉冲和近场光学显微镜，成功实现了飞秒时间分辨近场光学系统.系统通过高频声光调制和差频锁相探测，极大提高了信噪比并消除了抽运、探测光本底信号，从而在收集模式下测得了飞秒时间分辨的透射光微弱信号变化.同时获得了80nm的空间分辨和小于200fs的时间分辨测量.利用该实验系统，研究了金纳米结构的热电子弛豫动力学过程，观察到不同位置间热电子弛豫动力学的差异. 关键词： 飞秒近场 扫描近场光学显微镜 飞秒光脉冲 金纳米颗粒     

Influence of the probe--sample interaction on scanning near-field optical microscopic images in the far field

We have studied the influence of probe--sample interaction in a scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in the far field by using samples with a step structure. For a sample with a step height of $\sim \lambda $/4, the SNOM image contrast between the two sides of the step changes periodically at different scan heights. For a step height of $\sim \lambda $/2, the image contrast remains approximately the same. The probe--sample interaction determines the SNOM image contrast here. The influence of different refractive indices of the sample has been also analysed by using a simple theoretical model.
