Abstract

We present a novel method for sensitive mapping of optical intensity distributions at subdiffraction-limited resolution. This is achieved with a novel device, a plasmonic nanopore, which combines a plasmonic bowtie nanoantenna with a 10 nm-in-diameter solid-state nanopore. Variations in the local optical intensity modulate the plasmonic heating, which we measure electrically through changes in the ionic conductance of the nanopore. We demonstrate the method by profiling the focal volume of a 10 mW laser beam that is tightly focused by a high-numerical-aperture microscope objective. The results show a complex three-dimensional intensity distribution that closely matches predictions obtained by theoretical calculations of the optical system. In addition to laser profiling, the ionic conductance of a nanopore is also shown to provide quantitative estimates of the temperature in the proximity of single plasmonic nanostructures.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 October 2023.
All research outputs
#5,965,990
of 22,696,971 outputs
Outputs from Nano Letters
#5,006
of 12,326 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,177
of 307,673 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nano Letters
#94
of 151 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,696,971 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,326 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 307,673 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 151 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
