Plasmonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains with strong coupling amplitudes
Benedikt Schurr, Matthias Hensen, Luisa Brenneis +6
Plasmonic many-particle systems with precisely tuned resonances and coupling strengths can exhibit emergent collective properties governed by universal principles. In one-dimension…
Mode-matching for Optical Antennas
Thorsten Feichtner, Silke Christiansen, Bert Hecht
The emission rate of a point dipole can be strongly increased in presence of a well-designed optical antenna. Yet, optical antenna design is largely based on radio-frequency rules,…
Mono-crystalline Gold Platelets: A High Quality Platform for Surface Plasmon Polaritons
Korbinian J. Kaltenecker, Enno Krauss, Laura Casses +5
We use mono-crystalline gold platelets with ultra-smooth surfaces and superior plasmonic properties to investigate the formation of interference patterns caused by surface plasmon…
Impedance matching and emission properties of optical antennas in a nanophotonic circuit
Jer-Shing Huang, Thorsten Feichtner, Paolo Biagioni +1
An experimentally realizable prototype nanophotonic circuit consisting of a receiving and an emitting nano antenna connected by a two-wire optical transmission line is studied usin…
Single Quantum Emitter Dicke Enhancement
Tommaso Tufarelli, Daniel Friedrich, Heiko Groà +3
Coupling identical emitters to the same field mode is well-established method to enhance light matter interaction. However, the resulting boost of the coupling stren…
Electrically-driven optical antennas
Johannes Kern, René Kullock, Jord C. Prangsma +3
Unlike radiowave antennas, optical nanoantennas so far cannot be fed by electrical generators. Instead, they are driven by light or via optically active materials in their proximit…
