Conventional far-field microscopy cannot directly resolve the sub-diffraction spatial distribution of localized surface plasmons in metal nanostructures. Using BaTiO microspheres as far-field superlenses by collecting the near-field signal, we can map the origin of enhanced two-photon photoluminescence signal from the gap region of gold nanosphere dimers and gold nanorod dimers beyond the diffraction limit, on a conventional far-field microscope. As the angle θ between dimer's structural axis and laser polarisation changes, photoluminescence intensity varies with a cosθ function, which agrees quantitatively with numerical simulations. An optical resolution of about λ/7 (λ: two-photon luminescence central wavelength) is demonstrated at dimer's gap region.
传统的远场显微镜无法直接分辨金属纳米结构中局域表面等离子体的亚衍射空间分布。通过收集近场信号,使用钛酸钡微球作为远场超透镜,我们可以在传统远场显微镜上绘制出金纳米球二聚体和金纳米棒二聚体间隙区域增强的双光子光致发光信号的来源,其超出了衍射极限。随着二聚体结构轴与激光偏振之间的夹角θ变化,光致发光强度随cosθ函数变化,这与数值模拟定量相符。在二聚体的间隙区域展示了约λ/7(λ:双光子发光中心波长)的光学分辨率。
