▎ 摘  要

Graphene, with its excellent chemical stability, biocompatibility, and capability of electric field enhancement, has a great potential in optical and optoelectronic applications with superior performances by integrating with conventional optical and plasmonic devices. Here, we design and demonstrate graphene-activated optoplasmonic cavities based on rolled-up nanomembranes, which are employed for in situ monitoring the photodegradation dynamics of organic dye molecules on the molecular level in real time. The presence of the graphene layer significantly enhances the electric field of hybrid optoplasmonic modes at the cavity surface, enabling a highly sensitive surface detection. The degradation of rhodamine 6G molecules on the graphene-activated sensor surface is triggered by localized laser irradiation and monitored by measuring the optical resonance shift. Our demonstration paves the way for real-time, high-precision analysis of photodegradation by resonance-based optical sensors, which promises the comprehensive understanding of degradation mechanism and exploration of effective photocatalysts.
