Photon statistics of incoherent cathodoluminescence with continuous and pulsed electron beams

Magdalena Solà-Garcia, Kelly W. Mauser, Matthias Liebtrau +3

Photon bunching in incoherent cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy originates from the fact that a single high-energy electron can generate multiple photons when interacting with…

Towards fully integrated photonic displacement sensors

Ankan Bag, Martin Neugebauer, Uwe Mick +3

The field of optical metrology with its high precision position, rotation and wavefront sensors represents the basis for lithography and high resolution microscopy. However, the on…

Chiroptical response of a single plasmonic nanohelix

Paweł Woźniak, Israel De Leon, Katja Höflich +4

We investigate the chiroptical response of a single plasmonic nanohelix interacting with a weakly-focused circularly-polarized Gaussian beam. The optical scattering at the fundamen…

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,…

Strong plasmonic enhancement of biexciton emission: controlled coupling of a single quantum dot to a gold nanocone antenna

Korenobu Matsuzaki, Simon Vassant, Hsuan-Wei Liu +8

Multiexcitonic transitions and emission of several photons per excitation comprise a very attractive feature of semiconductor quantum dots for optoelectronics applications. However…

Plasmonic Gold Helices for the visible range fabricated by oxygen plasma purification of electron beam induced deposits

Caspar Haverkamp, Katja Höflich, Sara Jäckle +2

Electron beam induced deposition (EBID) currently provides the only direct writing technique for truly three-dimensional nanostructures with geometrical features below 50 nm. Unfor…

Photonic light trapping in silicon nanowire arrays: deriving and overcoming the physical limitations

Sebastian W. Schmitt, Silke H. Christiansen

Hexagonally aligned, free-standing silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays serve as photonic resonators which, as compared to a silicon (Si) thin film, do not only absorb more visible (VIS)…

Observation of strongly enhanced photoluminescence from inverted cone-shaped silicon nanostuctures

Sebastian W. Schmitt, George Sarau, Silke H. Christiansen

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) attached to a wafer substrate are converted to inversely tapered silicon nanocones (SiNCs). After excitation with visible light, individual SiNCs show a 2…
