#Laser device sniffs out tiny traces of explosives University of California Berkeley rightoriginal Studyposted by Sarah Yang-Berkeley on July 24 2014mechanical engineers have found a way to dramatically increase the sensitivity of a light-based plasmon sensor.
The nanoscale plasmon sensor used in the lab experiments is much smaller than other explosive detectors on the market.
Because of this the researchers are hopeful that their plasmon laser sensor could detect pentaerythritol tetranitrate or PETN an explosive compound considered a favorite of terrorists.
The sensor represents the latest milestone in surface plasmon sensor technology which is used now in the medical field to detect biomarkers in the early stages of disease.
By coupling electromagnetic waves with surface plasmons the oscillating electrons found at the surface of metals researchers were able to squeeze light into nanosized spaces
The new device builds upon earlier work in plasmon lasers by Zhang s lab that compensated for this light leakage by using reflectors to bounce the surface plasmons back and forth inside the sensorâ##similar to the way sound waves

It's these approximately 100-nanometers-wide slits that allow the device to differentiate between colors with plasmons waves of electrons that flow across metal surfaces) excited by light of a specific wavelength.

The light whizzing past generates plasmons: collective oscillations of electrons.""The plasmons pull the light wave a little further out of the glass microsphere,
"Vollmer explains. This amplifies the field strength of the light wave by a factor of more than a thousand.
Using a laser to excite electromagnetic waves called plasmons at the surface of the wire the researchers found that the Mos2 flake at the far end of the wire generated strong light emission.
Going in the other direction as the excited electrons relaxed they were collected by the wire and converted back into plasmons
We have found that there is pronounced nanoscale light-matter interaction between plasmons and atomically thin material that can be exploited for nanophotonic integrated circuits said Nick Vamivakas assistant professor of quantum optics and quantum physics at the University of Rochester and senior author of the paper.
Typically about a third of the remaining energy would be lost for every few microns (millionths of a meter) the plasmons traveled along the wire explained Kenneth Goodfellow a graduate student at Rochester's Institute of Optics

During the 1990s'researchers found that plasmons, tiny waves of electrons in metallic surfaces that appear
the plasmons in the nanoparticles enhance the Raman signal coming from the molecules that have to be detected with several orders of magnitude.
In 2010 they successfully obtained funding for the project called SPEDOC (Surface Plasmon Early Detection of Circulating Heat shock proteins and Tumor Cells) under the 7th Framework Program (FP7) of the European commission.
These plasmon density waves absorb energy from the photons that pass through the silicon wafer. The absorption of the energy produces otor energetic electrons,
Plasmon energy expansion thermometry, inset, uses a beam of electrons to track where heat is produced
Electrons passing through a sample excite collective charge oscillations called plasmons. Monitoring the energy required to excite the plasmons enables measuring local variations in a sample density,
which are directly related to the local temperature within an integrated circuit or transistor. Based on these principles
the researchers developed a new technique called plasmon energy expansion thermometry, or PEET. It enables measuring local temperature with 3-5 K precision and 5 nm spatial resolution.

The scientists developed a nanoscale photodetector that uses the common material molybdenum disulfide to detect optical plasmons--travelling oscillations of electrons below the diffraction limit
The device expands on previous work demonstrating that light could be transmitted along a silver nanowire as a plasmon
rather than solely to the laser's wavelength, demonstrating that the plasmons effectively nudged the electrons in Mos2 into a different energy state."
the energy was converted into plasmons, a form of electromagnetic wave that travels through oscillations in electron density.
and performance was limited at shorter wavelengths due to ineffective plasmon propagation and at longer wavelengths due to the band gap of molybdenum disulfide."

Although plasmon lasers have been demonstrated at different spectral ranges, from the ultraviolet to near-infrared, a systematic approach to manipulate the lasing emission wavelength in real time has not been possible.
The main limitation is that only solid gain materials have been used in previous work on plasmon nanolasers;
Odom's research team has found a way to integrate liquid gain materials with gold nanoparticle arrays to achieve nanoscale plasmon lasing that can be tuned dynamical, reversibly and in real time.
#Close to the point of more efficient chips More efficient chips based on plasmonics are a step closer to reality through better control of the directional excitation of plasmons in a gold grating.
A*STAR researchers and their collaborators have generated electromagnetic waves known as surface plasmon polaritons in a gold grating
so called because they use plasmons--collective excitations of electrons in a conductor--rather than electrons to transfer
direction of plasmons in a gold grating both theoretically and experimentally. In the experiments, they moved the STM tip relative to the edge of the gold grating
"The STM tip acts as a point source of surface plasmons,"Yang explains.""When placed on a metal film,
electrons that tunnel across the gap can excite plasmons, although inefficiently.""Yang likens the excitation of plasmons in gratings to dropping pebbles in a swimming pool with swimming lanes demarcated by floats."
"What is interesting is that depending on how far we drop the pebble from the barrier for each lane,
"This control of direction stems from the surface plasmon polariton reflected from the grating edge interfering with the one at the STM probe.
The result provides point sources of surface plasmon polaritons. This could prove useful for developing ways to replace wires between chips with optical connectors,
The researchers intend to investigate the optical characteristics of the plasmon source when the electrically excited plasmons are coupled to plasmonic waveguides,
opening the way to plasmonic counterparts of electronic components.""Potentially, we hope to achieve logic gates, which underpin all processing circuits,

Because it exactly out of phase with the original wave, this additional half wavelength can be used to selectively cancel the wave,

Previous studies have revealed that gold and platinum nanoparticles produce a large number of electrons via the plasmon excitation mechanism.
For the first time, Harvard researchers have created similar wakes of light-like waves moving on a metallic surface, called surface plasmons,
"The creation and control of surface plasmon wakes could lead to new types of plasmonic couplers
Surface plasmons are confined to the surface of a metal. In order to create wakes through them, Capasso's team designed a faster-than-light running wave of charge along a one-dimensional metamaterial--like a powerboat speeding across a lake.
The metamaterial, a nanostructure of rotated slits etched into a gold film, changes the phase of the surface plasmons generated at each slit relative to each other

and hence the velocity of the plasmons in one arm of the interferometer can be varied,
After that, the plasmons are reconverted into light, which is fed into a fibre optic cable for further transmission.
and that thus modulates the plasmons inside the interferometer. As such a modulator is much smaller than conventional devices it consumes very little energy-only a few thousandth of Watts at a data transmission rate of 70 Gigabits per second.
