Abstract
Enhanced upconversion via plasmonics has considerable potential in biosensors and solar cells; however, conventional plasmonic configurations such as core-shell assemblies or nanoarray platforms still suffer from the compromise between the enhancement factor and monodispersity, which has failed to meet the requirement of the materials for the in vivo all-solution-prepared solar cells and biosensors. We herein report a monodisperse metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) type upconverted hybrid material with high efficiency. The lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were sandwiched by two gold nanodisk mirrors, and the highly localized excitation field around the UCNPs together with the efficient coupling enhanced the upconversion. The upconversion intensity can then be effectively regulated and improved by three to four orders of magnitude. As per the measurement of the temperature-dependent fluorescence intensity and spectra shift, a dual-mode nanothermometer based on our proposed hybrid materials was demonstrated. This MDM-type upconverted hybrid material demonstrated the merits of high efficiency and monodispersity, which demonstrated promise in in vivo biosensors and solar cell fabrication techniques such as spin-coating and roll-to-roll.

Abstract
Emerging immersive visual communication technologies require light sources with complex functionality for dynamic control of polarization, directivity, wavefront, spectrum, and intensity of light. Currently, this is mostly achieved by free space bulk optic elements, limiting the adoption of these technologies. Flat optics based on artificially structured metasurfaces that operate at the sub-wavelength scale are a viable solution, however, their integration into electrically driven devices remains challenging. Here, a radically new approach to monolithic integration of a dielectric metasurface into a perovskite light-emitting transistor is demonstrated. It is shown that nanogratings directly structured on top of the transistor channel yield an 8-fold increase of electroluminescence intensity and dynamic tunability of polarization. This new light-emitting metatransistor device concept opens unlimited opportunities for light management strategies based on metasurface design and integration.

Abstract
Periodic arrays of metallic nanostructures support collective lattice resonances, which give rise to optical responses that are, at the same time, stronger and more spectrally narrow than those of the localized plasmons of the individual nanostructures. Despite the extensive research effort devoted to investigating the optical properties of lattice resonances, the majority of theoretical studies have analyzed them under plane-wave excitation conditions. Such analysis not only constitutes an approximation to realistic experimental conditions, which require the use of finite-width light beams, but also misses a rich variety of interesting behaviors. Here, we provide a comprehensive study of the response of periodic arrays of metallic nanostructures when excited by finite-width light beams under both paraxial and nonparaxial conditions. We show how as the width of the light beam increases, the response of the array becomes more collective and converges to the plane-wave limit. Furthermore, we analyze the spatial extent of the lattice resonance and identify the optimum values of the light beam width to achieve the strongest optical responses. We also investigate the impact that the combination of finite-size effects in the array and the finite width of the light beam has on the response of the system. Our results provide a solid theoretical framework to understand the excitation of lattice resonances by finite-width light beams and uncover a set of behaviors that do not take place under plane-wave excitation.

Abstract
Lattice resonances, the collective modes supported by periodic arrays of metallic nanoparticles, give rise to very strong and spectrally narrow optical responses. Thanks to these properties, which emerge from the coherent multiple scattering enabled by the periodic ordering of the array, lattice resonances are used in a variety of applications such as nanoscale lasing and biosensing. Here, we investigate the lattice resonances supported by bipartite nanoparticle arrays. We find that, depending on the relative position of the two particles within the unit cell, these arrays can support lattice resonances with a super- or subradiant character. While the former result in large values of reflectance with broad lineshapes due to the increased radiative losses, the latter give rise to very small linewidths and maximum absorbance, consistent with a reduction of the radiative losses. Furthermore, by analyzing the response of arrays with finite dimensions, we demonstrate that the subradiant lattice resonances of bipartite arrays require a much smaller number of elements to reach a given quality factor than the lattice resonances of arrays with single-particle unit cells. The results of this work, in addition to advancing our knowledge of the optical response of periodic arrays of nanostructures, provide an efficient approach to obtain narrow lattice resonances that are robust to fabrication imperfections.

Abstract
Arrays of metallic particles patterned on a substrate have emerged as a promising design for on-chip plasmonic lasers. In past examples of such devices, the periodic particles provided feedback at a single resonance wavelength, and organic dye molecules were used as the gain material. Here, we introduce a flexible template-based fabrication method that allows a broader design space for Ag particle-array lasers. Instead of dye molecules, we integrate colloidal quantum dots (QDs), which offer better photostability and wavelength tunability. Our fabrication approach also allows us to easily adjust the refractive index of the substrate and the QD-film thickness. Exploiting these capabilities, we demonstrate not only single-wavelength lasing but dual-wavelength lasing via two distinct strategies. First, by using particle arrays with rectangular lattice symmetries, we obtain feedback from two orthogonal directions. The two output wavelengths from this laser can be selected individually using a linear polarizer. Second, by adjusting the QD-film thickness, we use higher-order transverse waveguide modes in the QD film to obtain dual-wavelength lasing at normal and off-normal angles from a symmetric square array. We thus show that our approach offers various design possibilities to tune the laser output.

Abstract
Periodic arrays are an exceptionally interesting arrangement for metallic nanostructures because of their ability to support collective lattice resonances. These modes, which arise from the coherent multiple scattering enabled by the lattice periodicity, give rise to very strong and spectrally narrow optical responses. Here, we investigate the enhancement of the near-field produced by the lattice resonances of arrays of metallic nanoparticles when illuminated with a plane wave. We find that, for infinite arrays, this enhancement can be made arbitrarily large by appropriately designing the geometrical characteristics of the array. On the other hand, in the case of finite arrays, the near-field enhancement is limited by the number of elements of the array that interact coherently. Furthermore, we show that, as the near-field enhancement increases, the length scale over which it extends above and below the array becomes larger and its spectral linewidth narrows. We also analyze the impact that material losses have on these behaviors. As a direct application of our results, we investigate the interaction between a nanoparticle array and a dielectric slab placed a certain distance above it and show that the extraordinary near-field enhancement produced by the lattice resonance can lead to very strong interactions, even at significantly large separations. This work provides a detailed characterization of the limits of the near-field produced by lattice resonances and, therefore, advances our knowledge of the optical response of periodic arrays of nanostructures, which can be used to design and develop applications exploiting the extraordinary properties of these systems.

Abstract
Strong coupling between plasmons and excitons leads to the formation of plexcitons: quasiparticles that combine nanoscale energy confinement and pronounced optical nonlinearities. In addition to these localized modes, the enhanced control over the dispersion relation of propagating plexcitons may enable coherent and collective coupling of distant emitters. Here, we experimentally demonstrate strong coupling between carbon nanotube excitons and spatially extended plasmonic modes formed via diffractive coupling of periodically arranged gold nanoparticles (nanodisks, nanorods). Depending on the light-matter composition, the rather long-lived plexcitons (>100 fs) undergo highly directional propagation over 20 μm. Near-field energy distributions calculated with the finite-difference time-domain method fully corroborate our experimental results. The previously demonstrated compatibility of this plexcitonic system with electrical excitation opens the path to the realization of a variety of ultrafast active plasmonic devices, cavity-assisted energy transport and low-power optoelectronic components.

Abstract
Plasmon hybridization, the electromagnetic analog of molecular orbital theory, provides a simple and intuitive method to describe the plasmonic response of complex nanostructures from the combination of the responses of their individual constituents. Here, we follow this approach to investigate the optical properties of periodic arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles with multiparticle unit cells. These systems support strong collective lattice resonances, arising from the coherent multiple scattering enabled by the lattice periodicity. Due to the extended nature of these modes, the interaction between them is very different from that among localized surface plasmons supported by individual nanoparticles. This leads to a much richer hybridization scenario, which we exploit here to design periodic arrays with engineered properties. These include arrays with two-particle unit cells, in which the interaction between the individual lattice resonances can be canceled or maximized by controlling the relative position of the particles within the unit cell, as well as arrays whose response can be made either invariant to the polarization of the incident light or strongly dependent on it. Moreover, we explore systems with three- and four-particle unit cells and show that they can be designed to support lattice resonances with complex hybridization patterns in which different groups of particles in the unit cell can be selectively excited. The results of this work serve to advance our understanding of periodic arrays of nanostructures and provide a methodology to design periodic structures with engineered properties for applications in nanophotonics.

Abstract
The integration of periodic nanodisk arrays into the channel of a light-emitting field-effect transistor leads to enhanced and directional electroluminescence from thin films of purified semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. The maximum enhancement wavelength is tunable across the near-infrared and is directly linked to the periodicity of the arrays. Numerical calculations confirm the role of increased local electric fields in the observed emission modification. Large current densities are easily achieved due to the high charge carrier mobilities of carbon nanotubes and will facilitate new electrically driven plasmonic devices.
