摘要
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) has demonstrated its promising capability for biochemical sensing and surface-enhanced spectroscopy applications. However, harnessing LSPR for remote sensing and specmscopy applications remains a challenge due to the difficulty in realizing a configuration compatible with the current optical communication system. Here, we propose and theoretically investigate a hybrid plasmonic-photonic device comprised of a single gold nanorod and an optical fiber-based one-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity, which can be integrated with the optical communication system without insertion loss. The line width of the LSPR, as a crucial indicator that determines the performances for various applications, is narrowed by the cavity-plasmon coupling in our device. Our device provides a promising alternative to exploit the LSPR for high-performance remote sensing and spectroscopy applications.
