Abstract

We study the optical coupling between a gold nanowire and a silver ion-exchanged waveguide, with special emphasis on the nanowire antenna radiation pattern. We measure the radiation patterns of waveguide-coupled gold nanowires with a height of 70 nm and width of 50 or 150 nm in the 450–700 nm spectral range for TE and TM polarizations. We perform a systematic theoretical study on the wavelength, polarization, nanowire size, and material dependences on the properties of the radiation pattern. We also give some elements concerning absorption and near-field. Experiments and calculations show localized plasmon resonance for the polarization orthogonal to the wire (far-field resonance at 580 nm for the smallest wire and 670 nm for the widest). It is shown that a great variety of radiation patterns can be obtained, together with a high sensitivity to a change of one parameter, particularly near-resonance.

(a) Example of a waveguide-coupled nanowire radiation pattern observed with the setup described Fig. 2. The transverse variation (ky) is essentially linked to the Fourier transform of the guided mode, while the longitudinal variation kx (parallel to the waveguide) varies in a complex manner linked to the nanowire properties (size, shape, material), the field properties (wavelength, polarization), the waveguide depth, and the permittivity of the surrounding media. (b) Radiation pattern divided by its average kx variation, showing a kx and ky independence.

Spectral variations of the integrated radiated intensity in the superstrate for 50 and 150 nm width gold nanowires in TM and TE polarizations. Experimental points are obtained as follows: for each wavelength, a quasi-monochromatic light is coupled in the waveguide, and the radiation pattern is measured, then angularly integrated. The calibration procedure described in Section 3.B is used to correct data from spectral variations from the source and transmission coefficients in the waveguide and fiber. Continuous lines correspond to guided FMM calculations. Vertical scale corresponds to calculations. Each experimental spectrum is multiplied with an arbitrary constant coefficient for visual comparison with calculations.
