Designing Structures that Maximize Spatially Averaged Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectra
Wenjie Yao, Francesc Verdugo, Henry O. Everitt +2
We present a general framework for inverse design of nanopatterned surfaces that maximize spatially averaged surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectra from molecules distributed random…
Trace formulation for photonic inverse design with incoherent sources
Wenjie Yao, Francesc Verdugo, Rasmus E. Christiansen +1
Spatially incoherent light sources, such as spontaneously emitting atoms, naively require Maxwell's equations to be solved many times to obtain the total emission, which becomes co…
Approaching the upper limits of the local density of states via optimized metallic cavities
Wenjie Yao, Mohammed Benzaouia, Owen D. Miller +1
By computational optimization of air-void cavities in metallic substrates, we show that the local density of states (LDOS) can reach within a factor of of recent theor…
Limits to surface-enhanced Raman scattering near arbitrary-shape scatterers
Jérôme Michon, Mohammed Benzaouia, Wenjie Yao +2
The low efficiency of Raman spectroscopy can be overcome by placing the active molecules in the vicinity of scatterers, typically rough surfaces or nanostructures with various shap…
Controlling Surface-plasmon-polariton Launching with Hot Spot Cylindrical Waves in a Metallic Slit Structure
Wenjie Yao, Chengwei Sun, Jianjun Chen +1
Plasmonic nanostructures, which are used to generate surface plasmon polaritions (SPPs), always involve sharp corners where the charges can accumulate. This can result in strong lo…
