The method of self-assembly was used to make the fixed sensitive biological membrane to achieve the best effect in the experiment. To illustrate the specific recognition of the DNA molecule, the TFBG-SPR biosensor was exposed to complementary DNA solutions with the concentration of 0.1 mmol/L and 0.05 mmol/L, respectively. The resonance wavelength of the TFBG-SPR biosensor increased gradually, indicating that the hybridization with the complementary DNA molecules changed the effective refractive index in the vicinity of the golden layer. Furthermore, the results illustrated the feasibility of the biomolecular probe sensor based on the TFBG surface plasma resonance for detecting the specific molecule.展开更多

Through changing the thickness of Co films and the lattice of voids, different optical modes were introduced. For a very shallow array of voids, the resonant MOKE was induced by Ag plasma edge resonance, for deeper ones, hybrid plasma modes, such as void plasmons in the voids, surface lattice plasmons between the voids, and the co-action of them, etc. resulted in resonant MOKE. We found that resonant MOKE resulted from the void plasmons resonance which possesses the narrowest bandwidth for the lowest absorption of voids. The simulated electromagnetic field(EF) distribution consolidated different effects of these three optical modes on resonant MOKE modulation. Such resonant polar MOKE possesses high sensitivity, which might pave the way to on-chip MO devices.展开更多

The addition of Ag^+ ion to the reaction sol was prior to the formation of films, followed by the heat treatment at 150℃ led to the creation ofAg nanoparticies. The formation ofAg nanoparticles and the change of its surface plasma resonance absorption were characterized by Uv-vis. The small angle XRD test indicated that the films had an ordered hexagonal mesoporous structure, of which the unit cell parameter was about 4.26 nm. The TEM images and EDS spectra of the samples have directly verified the presence of mono-dispersed Ag nanoparticles within the films, due to the confine effects of mesopores.展开更多

The asymmetric structure separates the resonance position in the vertical direction well. Due to the metal layer covering, loss is greatly improved. Finite element method is applied for numerical simulation. The influences of varying gold thickness and varying the diameters and the center positions of the larger apertures on filtering performance are evaluated. Theory of coupling between surface plasma and core mode is introduced. By modulating the parameters, we realize a single polarization filter at 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm. The basal mode loss in the y direction can reach 1408.80 dB/cm at 1.31 μm and 1911.22 dB/cm at 1.55 μm respectively, but basal mode loss in the x direction is relatively small, 0.82 dB/cm and 1.87 dB/cm. In addition, two kinds of broadband polarization filters are proposed. If the fiber length is set to 200 μm,the extinction ratio is greater than 20 dB with width of 570 nm and 490 nm. The filter has simple structure and excellent performance.展开更多

The plasmonic "far-field" effect can simultaneously enhance the whole emission region in the white light range, because the enhancing regions from blue to red emission are largely overlapped. By doping gold nanospheres embedded in a poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS) layer, yield enhancement is achieved in more than 95% devices with the best enhancing ratio of 60% and the commission International de UEclairage (CIE) coordinate is stable at approximately (0.33, 0.36). The plasmonic "far-field" effect requires an ultra-low working concentration of Au NPs in picomolar magnitude, and shows little negative effect on the electronic process and light scattering, which has big potential in realizing highly efficient white organic light emitting diodes.展开更多

The detection principles of the TFBG-SPR protein molecular probe are analyzed, and its feasibility is demonstrated. The intermediary material between the protein molecules and the golden layer outside of the fiber gratings is cysteamine hydrochloride. When the concentration of the cysteamine hydrochloride solution is 2 M, the shift of the TFBG resonance peak is 2.23 nm, illustrating that the cysteamine hydrochloride modifies the gold film successfully. IgG antigen solution is poured on the surface of the cysteamine hydrochloride modifying the gold-deposited TFBG. Finally, antigen-antibody hybridization experiment is carried out with a 10mg/mL antibody solution, and after two hours of hybridization the resonance peak of the TFBG shifts 5.1 nm, which validates the feasibility and effectiveness of the TFBG-SPR protein molecular probe.展开更多
