Abstract
We investigate the plasmon-mediated nonlinear dynamics and the optics of a laser emission of random nanoemitters (NEs) embedded in a two-dimensional (2D) lattice of conducting nanorings (NRs) enhanced by plasmon-polariton (PP) excitations. The interaction of quantum NEs with the PP field in the NRs perturbs the dynamics of the electronic populations in NEs, leading to a significant dependence of laser generation (dynamics) on the plasma frequency ωp of PP. This results in a strong coupling of NE field emission with the PP field and sharp variations of the average current in the NR lattice. The phase transition in the system was found when the macroscopic structures of PP fields are excited simultaneously in different regions of the system if ωp (control parameter) reaches critical value ωc. We have established the analytical dependence of the PP current I = I(ωp/ωc) on the plasma frequency, which is in excellent agreement with the results of numerical simulations. This effect may allow the design of new types of PP active devices with the use of conducting NRs in modern nanoelectronics.

Abstract
Transfer printing, the relocation of structures assembled on one surface to a different substrate by adjusting adhesive forces at the surface-substrate interface, is widely used to print electronic circuits on biological substrates like human skin and plant leaves. The fidelity of original structures must be preserved to maintain the functionality of transfer-printed circuits. This work developed new biocompatible methods to transfer a nanoscale square lattice of plasmon resonant nanoparticles from a lithographed surface onto leaf and glass substrates. The fidelity of the ordered nanoparticles was preserved across a large area in order to yield, for the first time, an optical surface lattice resonance on glass substrates. To effect the transfer, interfacial adhesion was adjusted by using laser induction of plasmons or unmounted adhesive. Optical and confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that submicron spacing of the square lattice was preserved in ≥90% of transfer-printed areas up to 4 mm2. Up to 90% of ordered nanoparticles were transferred, yielding a surface lattice resonance measured by transmission UV-vis spectroscopy.

Design of infrared optical absorber using silver nanorings array made by a top-down process. Sci Rep 2023; 13:7770.

Abstract
This paper presents the numerical simulation and fabrication of a metasurface composed of silver nanorings with a split-ring gap. These nanostructures can exhibit optically-induced magnetic responses with unique possibilities to control absorption at optical frequencies. The absorption coefficient of the silver nanoring was optimized by performing a parametric study with Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations. The absorption and scattering cross sections of the nanostructures are numerically calculated to assess the impact of the inner and outer radii, the thickness and the split-ring gap of one nanoring, as well as the periodicity factor for a group of four nanorings. This showed full control on resonance peaks and absorption enhancement in the near infrared spectral range. The experimental fabrication of this metasurface made of an array of silver nanorings is achieved by e-beam lithography and metallization. Optical characterizations are then carried out and compared to the numerical simulations. In contrast to usual microwave split-ring resonator metasurfaces reported in literature, the present study shows both the realization by a top-down process and modelling performed in the infrared frequency range.

Abstract
Nanorings (NRs) with their intrinsic cavities have attracted interest as plasmonic nanoparticles for years, due to the uniform electric field enhancement inside the cavity, lower plasmon damping effects and comparatively high refractive index sensitivities. In the present work, we successfully fabricated a series of Au NR arrays on flexible polydimethylsiloxane substrates by taking advantage of state-of-the-art fabrication methods such as electron beam lithography and wet-etching transfer techniques. In-situ optical measurements on these flexible systems are enabled by implementing a homemade micro-stretcher inside an optical reflection spectroscopy setup. The corresponding dark-field spectra of thin-walled NR arrays exhibit a strong shift to longer wavelengths (i.e., ~ 2.85 nm per 1% strain) under polarization perpendicular to the traction, mainly resulting from the increasing shape deformation of the NRs under strain. Moreover, numerical simulations illustrate that the shifting plasmonic mode has a radially-symmetric charge distribution of the bonding mode and is rather sensitive to the tuning of the NRs' shape as confirmed by a subsequent in-situ scanning electron microscope characterization. These results explore the possibilities of shape-altering flexible plasmonics for nanoparticles with a cavity and indicate potential applications for plasmonic colors and biochemical sensing in future work.

Abstract
We present an aluminum (Al) laminated nanostructure stacked on a glass substrate to produce highly transmitted narrowband ultraviolet (UV) filters. The laminated nanostructure was mainly composed of an Al nanohole array, and each Al nanohole had a coaxial Al nanoring at the bottom. This UV filter showed a single dominant peak with a high transmission over 50% and a narrow bandwidth less than 80 nm in the 200-400 nm waveband that was achieved based on the synergy of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The electric field profiles of the laminated nanostructure indicate that SPR selects the transmission wavelength and LSPR contributes to single peak. This narrowband UV filter can be utilized in UV detectors.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are among the most common and powerful label-free refractive index-based biosensing techniques available nowadays. Focusing on LSPR sensors, their performance is highly dependent on the size, shape, and nature of the nanomaterial employed. Indeed, the tailoring of those parameters allows the development of LSPR sensors with a tunable wavelength range between the ultra-violet (UV) and near infra-red (NIR). Furthermore, dealing with LSPR along optical fiber technology, with their low attenuation coefficients at NIR, allow for the possibility to create ultra-sensitive and long-range sensing networks to be deployed in a variety of both biological and chemical sensors. This work provides a detailed review of the key science underpinning such systems as well as recent progress in the development of several LSPR-based biosensors in the NIR wavelengths, including an overview of the LSPR phenomena along recent developments in the field of nanomaterials and nanostructure development towards NIR sensing. The review ends with a consideration of key advances in terms of nanostructure characteristics for LSPR sensing and prospects for future research and advances in this field.
