Digital electric field induced switching of plasmonic nanorods using an electro-optic fluid fiber

摘要: We demonstrate the digital electric field induced switching of plasmonic nanorods between 1 and 0 orthogonal aligned states using an electro-optic fluid fiber component. show by digitally nanorods, that thermal rotational diffusion can be circumvented, demonstrating approach to achieve submicrosecond times. also show, from initial unaligned state, into applied direction in 110 nanoseconds. The high-speed integrated all-fiber optical component may provide novel opportunities for remote sensing signaling applications.
