A binary-coupled dipole approximation (BCDA) is described for designing metal nanoparticles with nonperiodic structures in one, two, and three dimensions. This method can be used to simulate the variation of near- and far-field properties through the interactions of metal nanoparticles. An advantage of this method is in its combination with the binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm to find the best array of nanoparticles from all possible arrays. The BPSO algorithm has been used to design an array of plasmonic nanospheres to achieve maximum absorption, scattering, and extinction coefficient spectra. In BPSO, a swarm consists of a matrix with binary entries controlling the presence ('1') or the absence ('0') of nanospheres in the array. This approach is useful in optical applications such as solar cells, biosensors, and plasmonic nanoantennae, and optical cloaking.

플라즈마 다중모드 간섭 결합기 (MMIC)를 계단형으로 구성하여 전형적인 방법으로 설계된 MMIC 보다 결합길이를 현저하게 줄일 수 있는 새로운 구조가 본 논문에서 제안되었다. 전송폭이 계단형인 플라즈마 MMIC에서 60%의 cross 전력분배율에 대하여, 결합길이는 약 42%가 줄어들었다. 또한, 굴절률 변화에 따른 플라즈마 MMIC의 전력분배율과 결합길이는 약 2~6%로 거의 변화가 없었으나, 전송폭을 변화 시켰을 때 전력분배율과 결합길이는 약 30~40%로 큰 변화를 나타내었다.

Plasmonic lithography is the latest technique to overcome diffraction limit of previous optical lithography. In the plasmonic lithography, the nano gap between nano metal wave guide and photoresist should be in sub-wavelength region. SIL-based plasmonic lithography is the one of the solutions to maintain small air gap. However, the nano gap control is so sensitive that a little disturbance is able to have a large effect on the nano gap control. So, we analyzed the characteristics of disturbance, and then modified the previous controller to suppress the disturbance. We applied two peak filters which were fixed one and adaptively changeable one. We experimentally confirmed the improvement of the nano gap control, which reduced nano gap error by 30 %. The proposed control will improve the quality of lithography pattern.

최근 표면 플라즈몬 효과는 광 신호 향상에 중요하게 대두되고 있는 분야로써, 약한 광학적 신호를 증가시킴에 따라 바이오 분야나 뉴로사이언스에 매우 중요한 분야로 대두되었다. 플라즈모닉 구조를 제작하기 위해선 나노 구조의 크기 높이 그리고 입사광의 입사각 등 다양한 변수들이 존재하는데 본 논문에서는 플라즈모닉 나노구조의 제작을 위한 은 증착 높이에 따른 플라즈모닉 나노구조의 광학적 특성에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 은 증착은 플라즈모닉 효과를 보기 위해 다양하게 사용하고 있는 금속으로 특정 파장에 반응을 보기 위해 제작한 구조 형태와 유사한 구조를 시간영역 유한차분(FDTD)법을 통해 광 특성을 예측하여, 최종적으로 제작한 구조의 은 나노 입자 부근에 에너지가 집중되는 결과를 확인하였다.

본 논문은 협대역의 플라즈모닉 흡수체 구현을 위한 금속 나노입자 주기구조 설계 및 제작에 관한 연구다. 제안된 플라즈모닉 흡수체의 상단 금속 나노입자는 주기적으로 홈이 파여있는 템플릿을 이용하여 전자빔 증착 후, 열처리하는 제작 기술로 형성하였다. 주기적 홈 템플릿 위에 제작된 금속 나노입자를, 따로 제작한 33 nm 두께의 $Al_2O_3$가 스퍼터 가공된 200 nm 두께의 금속 반사판-기판 상단에 옮기는 방법을 통해 플라즈모닉 흡수체를 제작하였다. 제작된 금속 나노입자는 평균 지름 46 nm, 주기 76 nm의 크기를 가졌다. 광학 측정 결과, 제작된 플라즈모닉 흡수체는 중심파장 572 nm, 반값전폭 109.9 nm의 플라즈모닉 공명 흡수를 나타내었다.

It has been a critical issue to reduce the size of spectrometers in many fields such as on-chip chemical and biological sensing. The proposed plasmonic channel-waveguide with a sub-micrometer width has a cutoff frequency which enables us to control wavelength dependent propagation properties. We focused on the capability of the waveguide for spectral-to-spatial mapping when the waveguide width changes gradually. In this paper, we propose a plasmonic tapered channel-waveguide structure as a compact spectrometer with a physical size of $0.24{\times}2.0{\times}0.20{\mu}m^3$. The scattering point just above the tapered waveguide moves linearly depending on the wavelength of the injecting light. The spectral-to-spatial mapping can be improved by increasing the tapered length.

We investigate the enhanced effects of asymmetry ratio variations of the source and drain area in silicon (Si) field-effect transistor (FET). Photoresponse according to the variation of asymmetry difference between the width of source and drain are obtained by using the plasmonic terahertz (THz) wave detector simulation based on technology computer-aided design (TCAD) with the quasi-plasma 2DEG model. The simulation results demonstrate the potential of Si FETs with asymmetric source and drain structures as the promising plasmonic THz detectors.

A compact plasmonic switching scheme, based on the phase change of a thin-film chalcogenide material ($Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$), is proposed and numerically investigated at optical-communication wavelengths. Surface plasmon polariton modal analysis is conducted for various thicknesses of dielectric and phase-change material layers, and the optimized condition is induced by finding the region of interest that shows a high extinction ratio of surface plasmon polariton modes before and after the phase transition. Full electromagnetic simulations show that multiple reflections inside the active region may conditionally increase the overall efficiency of the on/off ratio at a specific length of the active region. However, it is shown that the optimized geometrical condition, which shows generally large on/off ratio for any length of active region, can be distinguished by observing the multiple-reflection characteristic inside the active region. The proposed scheme shows an on/off switching ratio greater than 30 dB for a length of a few micrometers, which can be potentially applied to integrated active plasmonic systems.

Graphene has received attention with its high electron mobility and visual transparency as a promising material for optoelectronic and photonic applications. Combination of graphene and conducting nanostructures i.e. plasmonic structures has recently been researched for enhancing light-matter interaction and overcoming diffraction limit of light. Here we show enhanced photodetection of incoherent visible light with graphene-mediated plasmonics. Gold nanoparticles fabricated by focused ion beam was used as an active element of photodetection and graphene was utilized as an interfacing material between nanostructures and electrodes. Hot electrons generated upon plasmon decay within nanoparticles pass over the potential barrier between nanostructure and graphene and give rise to a photocurrent with built-in electric field. We report 76.7% enhancement of photocurrent under resonant irradiation of fiber-coupled halogen lamp compared to the case without light illumination. We showed wavelength-dependent current response arisen from plasmonic nanostructure, providing a good agreement with theoretical calculation.
