In a new study engineers from Duke increased the photon emission rate of fluorescent molecules to record levels by sandwiching them between metal nanocubes and a gold film.
In the experiment her group manufactured 75-nanometer silver nanocubes and trapped light between them greatly increasing the light's intensity.
The researchers found they could achieve a significant speed improvement by placing fluorescent molecules in a gap between the nanocubes and a thin film of gold.
and Chair of Electrical and Computer engineering at Duke they used computer simulations to determine the exact size of the gap needed between the nanocubes
They plan to design a system with individual fluorescent molecule placed precisely underneath a single nanocube.
Energy trapped on the surface of the nanocube in this fashion is called a plasmon. The plasmon creates an intense electromagnetic field between the silver nanocube
and a thin sheet of gold placed a mere 20 atoms away. This field interacts with quantum dotspheres of semiconducting material just six nanometers widehat are sandwiched in between the nanocube and the gold.
The quantum dots, in turn, produce a directional, efficient emission of photons that can be turned on and off at more than 90 gigahertz. here is great interest in replacing lasers with LEDS for short-distance optical communication,
The group is now working to use the plasmonic structure to create a single photon source necessity for extremely secure quantum communicationsy sandwiching a single quantum dot in the gap between the silver nanocube and gold foil.
