Chemical coating of large-area Au nanoparticle two-dimensional arrays as plasmon-resonant optics
Innovative nanophotonic applications require a technique for generating not a nanometer-scale point but a large-area (mm2−m2) near-field light source.

Zusammenfassung: | Innovative nanophotonic applications require a technique for generating not a nanometer-scale point but a large-area (mm2−m2) near-field light source. We succeeded in developing a large-area near-field light source that is densely constructed of uniform-size gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) two-dimensionally arrayed with regular interparticle gaps, which has tunable localized surface plasmon resonance bands (600–1100 nm). The near-field excitation properties based on the optical tunability of the AuNP two-dimensional arrays demonstrate that our chemical coating of large-area near-field light sources is widely applicable such as for high-sensitivity optical sensors and high-efficiency solar cells. |
