Abstract

Polarization-sensitive anisotropic plasmonic interaction between gold nanorods (AuNRs) and quantum dots (QDs) encapsulated in an epoxy resin polymer has been experimentally investigated. The anisotropic plasmonic interaction utilized the polarization-dependent plasmonic properties of aligned AuNR in AuNR-QD composite. AuNRs were aligned by an external AC electric field of 3.5 ×105 Vm-1. The plasmonic interaction modified QD absorption and emission dependent on excitation light polarization and maximum enchantment of 10% and 59%, respectively. Moreover, anisotropic plasmonic interaction induced directional emission of QDs has improved emission decay rate by 20% and modulated emission polarization ratio of out-of-plane (vertical) and in-plane (horizontal) from 1 to 0.84.
