Strong coupling of metamaterial quadrupolar mode with molecular vibration
Metamaterial multipolar mode presents a compelling scheme for exploring fundamental properties and technological applications of light-matter interactions due to its strong near field and high quality factor. In this work, we demonstrate strong coupling and mode hybridization between metamaterial quadrupolar mode and molecular vibration in the mid-infrared. In our fabricated cross-shaped metasurfaces spin-coated with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film, a quadrupolar resonance with a quality factor of 33 is excited at oblique incidence, whose electric dipolar component efficiently couples to the Si-CH3 vibration with pronounced spectral splitting and anti-crossing behaviors. The coupling strength increases with the PDMS film thickness and reaches the strong coupling regime for thickness above 27 nm. A Rabi splitting of 0.79–1.13 THz is measured in the strong coupling regime. Our results indicate that the use of quadrupolar mode in plasmonic nanostructures provides an effective and convenient approach for the realization of vibrational polaritons, which hold promise for applications in ultrasensitive infrared sensing and photochemistry.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
