It significantly reduces the amount of target material needed to produce a measurable signal. This paper establishes that, contrary to common belief, at very low target concentrations, increasing the periodicity of a nanoparticle array instead of diminishing it significantly lowers the limit of detection (LOD) of such structured plasmonic sensors. We demonstrate this numerically on a thin gold film covered by an array of 50 nm diameter nanocylinders with periodicity ranging from 400 to 3000 nm. We found a minimal capture target volume per surface unit of a few tens of nm<sup>3</sup>/μm<sup>2</sup>, which is an improvement of orders of magnitude from about 10<sup>4</sup> nm<sup>3</sup>/μm<sup>2</sup> necessary for obtaining the same minimal signal using a conventional propagative-based plasmon sensor, or about 10<sup>3</sup> nm<sup>3</sup>/μm<sup>2</sup> for a similar plasmonic biochip structure but with a typical 200-400 nm periodicity array range. Two key mechanisms are involved in achieving such a significant breakthrough. First, energy harvesting is enhanced by incorporating the underlying thin film, which enables the coupling of electromagnetic field energy into the localized plasmon mode of the nanoparticles. This harvesting coupling effect is shown to be limited by the film's plasmon propagation attenuation length and, consequently, its appropriate thickness.

In this work, we provide a numerical study that shows that as a result of the optical properties of the grid, the light extraction efficiency and resulting emission changes nonlinearly with grid coverage, contrary to the standard approximation. If the grid is optically lossy while light is mostly trapped in the diode, the loss in emission is more than linear and therefore larger than expected based on the standard grid shadowing assumption. However, with an optically reflective grid and a good light extraction scheme, the structure obtains a robustness against losses from grid, leading to a meaningful increase in the light extraction efficiency. This is shown using a simple 300 nm GaAs light-emitting diode (LED) structure the emissive properties of which generalize to a thin-film PV cell. Specifically, it is found that depending on the design of the grid and backside mirror, at 10% grid coverage the light extraction efficiency need only be reduced less than 4% absolute.

Remarkably, its emission intensity at 150 °C remains 120% of the initial value at room temperature, demonstrating a rare antithermal-quenching behavior. Temperature-dependent XRD studies further reveal that Al<sup>3+</sup> substitution effectively suppresses lattice expansion at elevated temperatures, indicating enhanced lattice stability under thermal excitation. Detailed structural and spectral analyses show that the substitution enhances local site symmetry, reduces electron–phonon coupling, increases thermally induced absorption probability, and fortifies energetic barriers against nonradiative transitions. These synergistic effects collectively endow this NIR phosphor with a superior thermal stability. Furthermore, NIR light-emitting diodes fabricated with this phosphor exhibit strong potential for applications in information identification, nondestructive detection, and night vision technologies. This study demonstrates a local structure engineering strategy for designing thermally robust Cr<sup>3+</sup>-activated NIR phosphors, offering valuable insights into material discovery and NIR spectroscopy device development.</p>","PeriodicalId":29803,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Optical Materials","volume":"3 8","pages":"1766–1776"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acsaom.5c00201","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144885252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
