dc.description.abstract | Polymer matrices doped with a dispersion of noble metal nanoparticles combine the strong plasmon resonance-based optical signatures of the latter with the flexibility and processability of the former. We have developed a nonlinear lithographic technique to generate large populations of epoxide waveguides containing a uniform dispersion of Au nanoparticles. The method is based on the self-trapping of multiple beams of white light propagating through a catonic polymerizable matrix doped with a gold salt, initiating the polymerization of epoxide moieties and simultaneously the in situ synthesis of elemental Au nanoparticles. Each white light filament inscribes a cylindrical waveguide, leading to an array of metallodielectric waveguides. Field of view (FOV) measurements indicate that the metallodielectric waveguide array has a nearly 59 % increase in FOV relative to its all-dielectric counterparts and can be tuned through the concentration of Au nanoparticles and the optical intensities employed to generate waveguides. | en_US |
