We show that the fluorescence emission from individual hybrid nanostructures composed of
Au nanorod cores and oxazine 725-embedded mesostructured silica shells is strongly …

We report on the strong polarization dependence of the plasmon-enhanced fluorescence on
single gold nanorods. The fluorescence from the organic fluorophores that are embedded in …

Plasmonic nanoparticles can strongly interact with adjacent fluorophores, resulting in
plasmon-enhanced fluorescence or fluorescence quenching. This dipolar coupling is …

Plasmon-coupled fluorescence from Au nanorods with fluorophore-doped silica shells has
been studied. Besides the ordinary emission of the fluorophore at 590 nm, an extra emission …

Both the excitation and emission processes of a fluorescent molecule positioned near a
noble metal nanocrystal can interact strongly with the localized surface plasmon resonance …

Enhancing the fluorescence of a weak emitter is important to further extend the reach of
single-molecule fluorescence imaging to many unexplored systems. Here we study …

Through wet-chemical assembly methods, gold nanorods were placed close to each other
and formed a dimer with a gap distance~ 1 nm, and hence degenerated plasmonic dipole …

Control over light absorption and emission using plasmonic nanostructures is an enabling
technology, which can dramatically enhance the performances of existing optical and …

Plasmonic nanoparticles have been intensely used in research because they possess
powerful optical properties. Gold nanorods (Au NRs), in particular, feature the interesting …

The localized plasmons of metal nanocrystals have been widely utilized to control a variety
of optical signals, such as Raman, fluorescence, and circular dichroism, from proximal dye …
