Fig. 1. Two-dimensional gold nanohole arrays supporting SPP modes fabricated by the nanoimprint lithography method. (a) Schematic illustration of the optical measurement configuration. (b) Definitions of incident angle θ, azimuthal angle φ, and polarization (p or s), respectively. Inset: (top) SEM images of the array with cross-sectional and top views; (bottom) photographic images of the array under different visual angles. Scale bars denote 500 nm and 1 cm for SEM and photographic images, respectively. (c) Experimentally measured reflectance spectra as a function of incident angles from 0° to 75°. The azimuthal angle is set as φ=0°. (d) Dependence of FWHM on (1, 0) SPP mode achieved at different incident angles.

Fig. 2. Tuning the linewidths of plasmonic modes by varying azimuthal angles. (a), (b) Azimuthal angle-dependent reflectance spectra at the incident angles of 15° and 75°, respectively. (c) Theoretical resonance wavelength of (1, 0) mode (black curve) and (0, 1) (red curve) mode as a function of the azimuthal angle. Measured (1, 0) mode (black spheres) and (0, 1) mode (red spheres) nearly overlaid on theoretical modes. The pink dash arrows denote the cases used later. (d) Dependence of FWHM on (1, 0) mode (blue spheres) and (0, 1) mode (red spheres) achieved at different azimuthal angles. The short dash line and dot correspond to the left and right coordinate values, respectively, as shown by black arrows. Th incident angle is set as θ=75° in both (c) and (d).

Fig. 3. Comparisons of the sensitivity between normal and oblique incidence with the unpolarized light. (a), (b) Experimentally measured reflectance spectra with different PSA concentrations ranging from 10 to 30 ng/mL after normalization. The excitation configurations are set as normal (θ=0°) and oblique (θ=75°,φ=0°) incidence with the unpolarized light in (a) and (b), respectively. Inset: Schematic drawings of excitation configurations. (c), (d) Plots of resonance wavelength positions of plasmonic modes extracted from (a) and (b) against PSA concentrations. The S and R2 denote the sensitivity and the correlation coefficient of the linear fitting, respectively. Note that the FWHM values are about 44 nm and 11 nm in (a) and (b), respectively.
