Abstract
Spontaneous Brillouin scattering in bulk crystalline solids is governed by the intrinsic selection rules locking the relative polarization of the excitation laser and the Brillouin signal. In this work, we independently manipulate the polarization of the two by employing polarization-sensitive optical resonances in elliptical micropillars to induce a wavelength-dependent rotation of the polarization states. Consequently, a polarization-based filtering technique allows us to measure acoustic phonons with frequencies difficult to access with standard Brillouin and Raman spectroscopies. This technique can be extended to other polarization-sensitive optical systems, such as plasmonic, photonic, or birefringent nanostructures, and finds applications in optomechanical, optoelectronic, and quantum optics devices.

Chang H, Zhang J. Detecting nanoparticles by "listening". FRONTIERS OF PHYSICS 2023; 18:53602. [PMID: 37192844 PMCID: PMC10163296 DOI: 10.1007/s11467-023-1287-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
In the macroscopic world, we can obtain some important information through the vibration of objects, that is, listening to the sound. Likewise, we can also get some information of the nanoparticles that we want to know by the means of "listening" in the microscopic world. In this review, we will introduce two sensing methods (cavity optomechanical sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensing) which can be used to detect the nanoparticles. The cavity optomechanical systems are mainly used to detect sub-gigahertz nanoparticle or cavity vibrations, while surface-enhanced Raman scattering is a well-known technique to detect molecular vibrations whose frequency generally exceeds terahertz. Therefore, the vibrational information of nanoparticles from low-frequency to high-frequency could be obtained by these two methods. The size of the viruses is at the nanoscale and we can regard it as a kind of nanoparticles. Rapid and ultrasensitive detection of the viruses is the key strategies to break the spread of the viruses in the community. Cavity optomechanical sensing enables rapid, ultrasensitive detection of nanoparticles through the interaction of light and mechanical oscillators and surface-enhanced Raman scattering is an attractive qualitatively analytical technique for chemical sensing and biomedical applications, which has been used to detect the SARS-CoV-2 infected. Hence, investigation in these two fields is of vital importance in preventing the spread of the virus from affecting human's life and health.
