Abstract

Plasmon control over optical processes is of great interest in the context of attaining control over light-matter interaction. Such a control can be achieved in the case of fluorescence emission by exploiting the interaction between plasmon and the emitting molecule. Most of the reported work is on enhancement of emission quantum yield (emission amplitude) [1]. Recently researchers are focussing on various possibilities for achieving emission tunablity using different plasmonic structures [2]. In this study we report on a blue shift in the emission of dye molecule incorporated within plasmonic nanostructures.
