Tuning Optical Discs for Plasmonic Applications
- 1. Bilkent Univ, UNAM, Inst Mat Sci & Nanotechnol, TR-06800 Ankara, Turkey
Description
We present simple physical and chemical procedures that allow tuning and modification of the topography of gratings present in optical storage discs into geometries optimal for grating coupled plasmon resonance excitation. After proper metal coating, the tuned surfaces exhibit sharp plasmon resonances that can be excited at wavelengths ranging from 260 nm to over 2.7 mu m with relatively high quality factors. As an immediate exemplary application, use of such optimized gratings in aqueous medium for refractive index measurement is demonstrated.
