Polarization-dependent fluorescence from an anisotropic gold/polymer hybrid nano-emitter

Based on nanoscale photopolymerization triggered by the dipolar surface plasmon mode, we developed a light-emitting gold nanoparticle/Eosin Y-doped polymer hybrid nanostructure. Due to the anisotropic spatial distribution of the dipolar surface plasmon mode during photopolymerization, this nano-emit...

Description
Summary:Based on nanoscale photopolymerization triggered by the dipolar surface plasmon mode, we developed a light-emitting gold nanoparticle/Eosin Y-doped polymer hybrid nanostructure. Due to the anisotropic spatial distribution of the dipolar surface plasmon mode during photopolymerization, this nano-emitter is anisotropic in both geometry and emission. The trapped dye molecules in the hybrid nanostructure display fluorescence intensity that is dependent upon the polarization of the incident excitation light. This nano-emitter further allows the photo-selection of fluorescence configuration (i.e., molecule concentration and refractive index of active medium) by controlling the incident polarization.
