Tesis doctoral de Petru Virgil Ghenuche
This thesis describes the design, fabrication and the optical characterization of plasmon-resonant systems able to confine and enhance light fields down to the sub.Wavelength scale. Extensive 3d numerical modeling was first used to design different geometries of coupled plasmonic nanostructures through the calculation of their far field and near field optical response. On the basis of simulations, the nanostructures were fabricated by e-beam lithography and thin film deposition. Special efforts were devoted to increasing the resolution and optimizing the reproducibility of critical parameters such as particle shape and interparticle gaps. Finally, far-field spectroscopy combined with two-photon induced luminescence (tpl) spectroscopy was used to probe the local optical response of the optimized architectures.
