▎ 摘  要

The quest for auxiliary plasmonic materials with lossless properties began in the past decade. In the current study, a unique plasmonic response is demonstrated from a stratified high refractive index (HRI)-graphene oxide (GO) and low refractive index (LRI)-polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) multistack. Graphene oxide plasmon-coupled emission (GraPE) reveals the existence of strong surface states on the terminating layer of the photonic crystal (PC) framework. The chemical defects in GO thin film are conducive for unraveling plasmon hybridization within and across the multistack. We have achieved a unique assortment of metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) ensuing a zero-normal steering emission on account of solitons as well as directional GraPE. This has been theoretically established and experimentally demonstrated with a metal-free design. The angle-dependent reflectivity plots, electric field energy (EFI) profiles, and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis from the simulations strongly support plasmonic modes with giant Purcell factors (PFs). The architecture presented prospects for the replacement of metal-dependent MDM and surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) technology with low cost, easy to fabricate, tunable soliton [graphene oxide plasmon-coupled soliton emission (GraSE)], and plasmon [GraPE] engineering for diverse biosensing applications. The superiority of the GraPE platform for achieving 1.95 pg mL(-1) limit of detection of human IFN-gamma is validated experimentally. A variety of nanoparticles encompassing metals, intermetallics, rare-earth, and low-dimensional carbon-plasmonic hybrids were used to comprehend PF and cavity hot-spot contribution resulting in 900-fold fluorescence emission enhancements on a lossless substrate, thereby opening the door to unique light-matter interactions for next-gen plasmonic and biomedical technologies.
