Research Abstract

By means of an ultrafast optical technique, we investigate the coupling of high frequency phonons at GHz frequencies with metallic plasmonic structures. Various samples are probed, including nanovoid arrays, lattices of tiny holes exhibiting extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) and nanoscale linear waveguides. For the nanovoid arrays, we reveal GHz breathing vibrations of the voids by 2D imaging, showing how the vibrations couple to localized Mie plasmons. For the EOT samples, we reveal collective vibration of the hole arrays, and their effect on the optical transmission modulation. For the waveguides we describe work in progress, and fabrication of nanoscale linear gold waveguides.
