Comparative studies on the quality factors of whispering gallery modes and hybrid plasmon photon modes.

Optics Express 2017 April 18
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the multipolar hybrid plasmon-photon modes supported by a dielectric-metal core-shell resonator consisting of a dielectric core wrapped by a thin silver shell and the whispering-gallery modes in its pure dielectric counterpart (the dielectric sphere with the same size). We theoretically demonstrate that in a certain wavelength range the achievable maximum Q-factors of hybrid modes could be either larger or smaller than that of whispering-gallery modes, depending on the size of the resonator. By means of the coupling of the dye molecules to the hybrid and whispering-gallery modes, the reshaped fluorescence spectra are measured for resonators containing two different sized dye-doped dielectric spheres, which allow us to compare the Q-factors of hybrid and whispering-gallery modes, providing direct experimental support to the theoretical predictions. Our results provide guidance for appropriately choosing plasmonic core-shell (hybrid modes) or dielectric resonators (whispering-gallery modes) in applications such as ultrasensitive bio-sensors, low-threshold lasing, slow-light and nonlinear optical devices.
