  1. Localized surface plasmon resonance of optically coupled metal particles Takumi Sannomiya*, Christian Hafner**, Janos Vörös* * Laboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectronics, IBT ** Computational Optics Group, IFH ETH Zürich

  2. Outline BackgroundLSPR of colloid particles, motivations Method- MMP Calculation - Experimental setup Results- inter-particle coupling- selective excitation of coupling mode- possibility of more sensitive adsorption detection Summary & Outlook

  3. Resonance shift upon molecular binding Colloidal particle light Extinction l lr lr´ Molecule-adsorbed Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance(LSPR) for Sensors Adsorption Sensor Functionalize for certain molecules motivation: investigate adsorption of single colloid particle single molecule detection ?

  4. Different colors illumination particle <<1/l Scattered light Objective Lens spectrometer How to take a spectrum of a single colloidal particle Dark field microscopy + spectrometer  scattering spectrum Dark field image of 50nm Au colloids

  5. Calculated Spectra Second peak appears Same as single particle Non-coupled mode Optically coupled gold colloid particles Electric field one mode for single particle coupled mode

  6. Purpose To investigate optical property of coupled particles with the aid of numerical calculation • Dependence on Inter particle distance • Selective excitation of coupling mode • Possibility for better adsorption sensing?

  11. Result d E Separation Dependence(calculation) d = inter-particle separation - Coupled mode - Poynting Vector Map ( d = 0.5nm, l = 620nm ) • The second peak shifts to red as the distance decreases • Two particles behave independently when separated enough

  12. Result d E Separation Dependence(calculation) - Non-coupled mode - Poynting Vector Map ( d = 1.0nm, l = 520nm ) No separation dependence Only the intensity is twice as high as single…

Result Calculation (medium dependence) single particle coupled particle peak shift peak shift solution solution water water air air nwater = 1.333, nsolution = 1.370 separation : 0.75nm Peak of coupled mode is more sensitive to the surrounding refractive index sensitive to dimension  sensitive to refractive index  More sensitive adsorption detection !?

  18. Result Experiment (medium dependence) air buffer solution single particle coupled particle Problem in air : water layer most sensitive part

  19. Summary coupled mode…. • can be selectively excited by polarized light • is sensitive to the dimension and surrounding medium • can be a more sensitive adsorption detector Combination of MMP Calculation and experiment helps for better understanding and designing LSPR sensor. Outlook • Detect molecule adsorptions by coupled mode • Produce coupled particles by use of bio-molecules • Design new structures
