Terahertz plasma wave localization and velocity control in tapered double-layer graphene heterostructure
摘要： Terahertz plasma wave (plasmon) localization and velocity control in tapered heterostructure (taper) with double-layer graphene were numerically studied. We employ a simple rigorous theoretical model to find out the plasmon localization length and energy velocity values along the tapered structure. It is shown that the plasmon decelerates while moving from the taper apex and the deceleration process is accompanied with increase of the plasmon wave localization. While moving along the structure from the taper apex, the plasmon energy velocity as well as the plasmon localization length can become nearly an order of magnitude smaller as compared to the values near the taper apex.

Doubly-resonant plasmonic hot spot-exciton coupling enhances second harmonic generation from Au/ZnO hybrid porous nanosponges
摘要： We introduce zinc oxide (ZnO) functionalized porous gold nanoparticles which exhibit strong second harmonic (SH) emission due to an efficient coupling of localized surface plasmons to ZnO excitons. The nanosponges are perforated with a random network of 10-nm sized ligaments, localizing plasmons in a high density of hot spots. We use a broadband, few-cycle ultrafast laser to probe coherent nonlinear emission from individual bare gold and ZnO-functionalized sponges. While the third harmonic spectrum of the hybrid particles redshifts with respect to that of bare gold sponges, a distinct blueshift is seen in their SH spectra. SH emission around 390 nm, slightly below the ZnO band gap, is enhanced by ten times. We attribute this to doubly-resonant plasmon-exciton interactions: the laser drives nanosponge plasmon hot spot resonances and this locally enhanced field induces two-photon excitation of localized ZnO excitons. This opens a path towards the design of efficient coherent nonlinear optical sources by combining randomly-disordered nanoantennas with semiconductor gain materials.
