Abstract
Dielectric multilayers, when properly optimized, have been shown to sustain giant optical field enhancement directly linked to the imaginary index of the materials. Such giant optical field is of great interests to increase tremendously the sensitivity of optoelectronic systems. Unfortunately, this ultra-sensitive system is also highly depending on the illumination conditions. We discuss here the effect of the angular divergence and the spectral bandwidth of the incident laser beam on the absorption and field enhancement. In this study, we clearly show that giant optical field enhancements, up to several decades, may be achievable when the incident conditions are down few μrad and pm in term of angular and spectral bandwidths respectively.

1. Introduction
Dielectric multi-layers have been widely investigated using either Bloch waves and band structures considerations [1–10] or optical thin film concept [11–16]. In both cases, very sharp resonances, spectrally and angularly, are anticipated. In addition, dielectrics are low losses materials, i.e. low imaginary part of the refractive index, and therefore they are usually used for optical guiding [17,18]. The resulting modes induced large evanescent waves at the interfaces that lend dielectric multi-layers even more interests. Kaiser et al [19–21] reported an enhancement factor of 1000 using m-line measurements, while Perry et al [22] demonstrated an improvement of the 1st order of diffraction by a grating-based multi-dielectric stack. Jeun Kee Chua et al [23] numerically optimized a four layers stack to achieve a full transmission. Finally, optical near field measurements have also been done by Descrovi et al [24] evidencing an enhancement factor of 100 over a dielectric multi-layer. And more recently we measured an enhancement factor of 300 for an optimized dielectric multi-layer [25,26].
By supporting large field enhancements, dielectric multi-layers are also envisioned for sensing applications, where they are typically compared with surface plasmon resonances as related in [27–29], or combined with plasmon effect as Tamm plasmon [30] or in Fano resonance with giant field enhancement [31]. Challener et al [32] reported large field enhancements together with a penetration depth larger than surface plasmons. Ballarini et al [33,34] demonstrated fluorescent emission enhanced by the resulting Bloch surface waves in a dielectric multi-layer. More recently, bio-sensing applications-based dielectric multi-layers have also been reported [35–37] showing their growing interest. However, drawbacks are inevitable, in the literature, attenuation sources, i.e. both the incident conditions and the multi-layer depositions, are always mentioned to achieve this giant field enhancement. However, to the best of our knowledge the attenuation sources have not been quantified.
In this paper, we quantify the resonance attenuations, resulting from the illumination conditions, by looking at the absorption and field enhancement. We report on analytical and numerical work evaluating the relevance of controlling incident conditions. We will consider dielectric multi-layers (DM) of different imaginary parts of the index of refraction. We will tackle the effect of the incident beam angular divergence followed by the incident spectral bandwidth over the resonance. We will then concluded in Section 4. Note that errors in the fabrication of the DM are not considered here but are the second source of attenuations. We therefore assumed here no fabrication variations by considering a dedicated resonant DM at θR and λR.
2. Analytical results
Designing dielectric multi-layer was carried out using the admittance formalism under total internal reflection (T = 0), by optimizing the absorption to be total (A = 100%, R = 0) and therefore obtaining a giant field enhancement (proportional to the inverse imaginary index), see details on the optimization method in [14, 15]. Fig. 1 gives the used parameters to described an optimized DM with an imaginary index in the top layer, and with the resonance angle θR and wavelength λR. We recently reported on the experimental and numerical variations of the reflectance of such DM while varying the incident angle (θ) around θR and extracted the field enhancement for various incident angles using near field scanning optical microscopy [16, 25, 26]. Let’s now focus on the effects of the illumination conditions over the resonance, starting with the spatial divergence and followed by the spectral bandwidth.
Fig. 1 Typical dielectric multi-layer and the used analytical parameters. For all the numerical work presented here we have used n0=1.52, nH =2.141, nL=1.46, nS=1 for a TE-polarized incident beam at 633 nm with an incidence at 45°. Note that the choice of nH and nL were done in reference to the refractive indices of Ta2O5 and SiO2 respectively. Different optimizations are then carried out for 10−2<n″p <10−5.
2.1. Effect of the illumination divergence
We first suppose that the incident wavelength λ0 = λR, meaning we neglect the spectral variations of the illumination. An incident beam usually spread angularly around the average illumination incidence θ0. This spatial divergence of the beam, noted Δθ0, will be considered in the spatial frequencies domain.
The electromagnetic field of a progressive and monochromatic beam in free space is described in the most general case by a spatial waves packet written, at any point (x, z) of the space, as follow:
where the average spatial pulsation σ0 is expressed as: and σ, representing all the pulsations included in the wave packet, is given by:In addition, we are in the propagative regime, i.e. without evanescent waves, and in a transparent incident medium, meaning that:
Equation (3) shows that the energy is essentially distributed over the spatial divergence Δθ0. We will use thereafter a gaussian beam to model the energy decay around the average pulsation. The reflected field for the resonant DM can now be deduced from equation (1), by weighting each frequency contribution of the incident field by the corresponding amplitude reflection coefficient r(σ). This gives from equation (1):
Such relationship has been largely used to study the spatial shape of the reflected beam at resonance conditions, which is mainly driven by the presence of complex poles in the amplitude reflection factor. We notice here that the local field depends on the phase properties of the reflection. Now, as far as the global energy is concerned, one can use another relationship which does not depend on this phase distribution. Indeed one can show [38] that the flow of the Poynting vectors related to the fields, describing the incident (equation (1)) and reflected (equation (5)) beams, are respectively proportional to:
with R(σ) = |r(σ)|2 the reflection coefficient in intensity for each spatial frequency. In total reflection, meaning with no transmission, the absorption of the DM lighten by the waves packet is written as A = 1 − R, that is, using equations (6) and (7):This shows that the absorption depends on the average illumination incidence θ0 and beam divergence Δθ0 which are characteristic of the illumination. The average illumination incidence is indeed described by the average pulsation σ0, while the divergence is included in the function A(σ). However, one has to keep in mind that the results will also depend on the DM, namely its resonance angle θR and its imaginary index . Therefore, the result can be seen as the product of the incident energy distribution A2(σ), centered at σ0 with a width Δσ, with the reflection function R(σ) centered at σR with a width ΔσR. R(σ) is linked to the DM resonance properties, while A(σ) characterize the illumination.
For a first approximation, the incident beam is taken here to be 1D gaussian with a width L at 1/e, and the electric field associated with the incident light is written, in a plane perpendicular to the propagation, as such:
and the flow of the incident Poynting vectors is thus written as:In addition, due to Parseval theorem, the amplitude distribution A2(σ) can be written as:
The quantity L describing the Gaussian beam at 1/e is therefore linked to the beam divergence Δθ0 by:
In general, a laser divergence is in the order of 1 mrad, we can therefore make the approximation that sin(Δθ0) ≈ Δθ0 to connect the beam divergence Δθ0 to the size L of the laser spot. At this stage, we are able to quantify numerically the influence of divergence on the absorption decay on the field enhancement (see Section 3).
2.2. Effect of the illumination spectral bandwidth
Performances of the optimized DM can also be improved by controlling the spectral bandwidth Δω of the illumination. We neglect here the angular divergence effect, showed in the previous subsection, in order to separate the variables. Therefore we assume here that the illumination incidence is the same as the DM resonance angle (θ0 = θR). Similarly to section 2.1, we can assume here a frequency waves packet with a spectral width Δλ0 around the emission wavelength λ0. The resonance wavelength is taken to be λR. The incident waves packet, in the Fourier space can therefore be decomposed as a continuous sum of plane waves of different temporal pulsations. The flow of the incident and reflected Poynting vectors can be expressed as equations (5) and (6) respectively, by solving the integral over the temporal pulsation ω instead of the spatial pulsation σ.
From there, we can express (as in equation (8)) the absorption for the temporal waves packet as:
Knowing that , with c the speed of light, one can link the frequency interval Δω to the one of wavelength Δλ by:
Equation (13) can then be expressed as such:
Depending on the light source, the spectral bandwidth can vary up to tens of nm. We will numerically evidence the Δλ effect of the illumination on the DM resonance by looking at the influence on the absorption expressed in equation (15) and the associated field enhancement.
3. Numerical results and effect of the illumination bandwidths on the resonance
3.1. From the absorption point of view
In the previous section, we presented the analytical method evaluating the resonances in term of absorption when taking into account the illumination angular or spectral apertures. We now numerically estimate, in Fig. 2(a), the divergence effect on the resonance absorption of a dielectric multi-layer, designed for n″p = 10−3 and illuminated with a perfect plane wave (black line) or with waves packets presenting angular apertures of Δθ = 0.1 mrad (red line) and Δθ = 1 mrad (blue line). We clearly show a decrease of the absorption by about 20% and 80% with respect to the perfect plane wave for both considered cases. Similarly, we show, in Fig. 2(b), the spectral bandwidth effect for an illumination beam with no spectral dispersion (black line) and with spectral bandwidths of Δλ = 0.1 nm (red line) and 1 nm (blue line). The absorption undergoes an attenuation by about 10% and 40% for the two spectral bandwidths we considered. Note that when considering an excitation with an angular divergence we do not introduce spectral dispersion and vice versa.
Fig. 2 Numerical evidences of the angular divergence (Δθ) (a) and the spectral bandwidth (Δλ) (b) of the illumination for a dielectric multi-layer with an absorptive top layer of imaginary index . The absorption is optimized to be 100% when Δθ and Δλ equal 0. In (a) we add angular divergences of Δθ=0.1 mrd (red line) and 1 mrd divergence (blue line) that induce a drop in the absorption by ≈ 80% and 20%, respectively. In (b), for spectral bandwidths of Δλ =0.1 nm (red line) or 1 nm (blue line), the absorption falls to 90% and 60% respectively.
The angular divergence has a stronger effect on the absorption attenuation than the spectral bandwidth. In addition, it is relatively easy to work with a spectral bandwidth of 0.1 nm whereas controlling a beam divergence down to less than 0.1 mrad is more complicate. This first results show the relative importance of controlling excitation beam parameters to access to the predicted strong and sharp resonances. We then perform a numerical study on the absorption for a panel of DMs with different imaginary part of the refractive index for the top layer. We report, in Fig. 3, the maximum of absorption for each case as a function of the angular (a) or spectral (b) illumination bandwidths, defined respectively by equations (8) and (15).
Fig. 3 Numerical calculations of the measurable absorption as a function of illumination angular divergence Δθ (a) or as a function of the spectral bandwidth Δλ (b). Optimized DMs with absorptive top layers of imaginary indices from 2.10−5 up to 5.10−2 are considered. The hatched regions mark the experimental limitations that cannot be achievable currently.
As expected, as the decreases, the resonance becomes sharper which requires to adjust the control of the illumination bandwidths accordingly. In order to link to the experimental limitations, the grey hatched parts on Fig. 3 mark the up-to-date achievable experimental conditions. We clearly show that for any proposed optimized DMs, a spectral control down to the picometer is sufficient to get at least 80% of absorption. Contrariwise, the angular dispersion is commonly experimentally controlled down to 0.1 mrad only. Under this condition, we get 80% of absorption for DMs optimized with a ranging from 10−3 to 10−2 (see Fig. 3). For DMs with , the experimental absorption is below 60% with a 0.1 mrad divergence. To clearly quantify the bandwidths, we summarized some performances in term of absorption in Table 1 as a function a angular divergence and spectral divergence. This investigation gives “realistic” limitations of such optical resonances, sustained in dielectric multi-layer, in term of absorption. We show that by taking into account the spectral or angular bandwidths of illumination in the calculation, we can predict, for a given component, both the experimentally reachable absorption at resonance associated to the resulting field enhancement. In other words, we propose here a method allowing predictions of resonant dielectric multi-layers performances under realistic conditions of use. Next, we will investigate the illumination bandwidths issues in term of field enhancement. We will highlight a broadening of the resonance escorting the absorption amplitude losses as the bandwidths get larger.

3.2. From the field enhancement point of view
Resonances based on total absorption lead to electromagnetic (EM) field enhancements with a factor proportional to 1/n″p, where n″p is the imaginary index of the last layer [14, 15]. Since the reflection, absorption and field enhancement are somehow linked, if the illumination bandwidths affect the absorption, they will certainly affect the resulting EM field enhancement. To illustrate this point, for the same structure studied in the subsection 3.1), we display, in Fig. 4, the spatial evolution of the calculated EM field within the DM as a function of the illumination spectral aperture. We used a logarithmic scale in order to magnify the contraste and highlight the effect onto the EM field enhancement. A similar mapping was obtained when considering the illumination angular divergence (data not shown).
Fig. 4 (a) Representation in logarithmic scale of the spectral evolution of the electromagnetic field within an optimized dielectric multi-layer designed for n″p = 10−3 when illuminated by the left side through a silica prism. Black lines represent interfaces of the dielectric multi-layer, and the right side of the DM is the field in Air, i.e. the emergent medium. (b) gives the evolution of optical indexes of each layer within the structure.
On this mapping, the zero line represents the resonance case where no bandwidths effects are introduced. We clearly see the large field enhancement at the interface with the emergent medium. As we increase the illumination spectral bandwidth (up to ± 5 nm), we observe modifications of the field distribution throughout the DM and a frank decrease of the field enhancement factor at the last interface down to few dozens. In addition, the penetration depth within the emergent medium is also reduced as the bandwidths increase. Fig. 4 confirms our conclusion given in section 3.1), that the control and/or estimations of the illumination bandwidths play a key role in the fundamental and applied investigations of such multi-dielectric resonances on both absorption and field enhancement aspects.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, we have investigated analytically and numerically, the effect of the angular divergence and spectral bandwidth of the illumination source over sharp resonances supported by dielectric multi-layers. The absorption and field enhancement were studied for DMs optimized with different imaginary indices for the absorptive top layer. We demonstrated that the angular divergence is the most critical parameter to control. For example, an angular divergence controlled at 0.1 mrad is required to achieve a full field enhancement of 103 (i.e. for a DM with an absorptive top layer of imaginary index ). For the spectral bandwidth, the effect is not as critical as one can experimentally control it down to the picometer, which already allows to access to field enhancements up to few 105. We also show that, as the field enhancement factor increases, the illumination bandwidths effects are more pronounced. We demonstrated the critical influence of the illumination conditions in order to obtain giant field enhancements and compared with the current experimental conditions achievable. We show that field enhancement up few 103 can be achieved when controlling Δθ at 2 μrad and Δλ at 10 pm. Note, nevertheless, that 20% of an expected field enhancement of 104–105 may still be of great interest in specific applications.
Achieving ultra-sensitive resonances is doable using dielectric multi-layer but the intrinsic limitations reside in the required experimental conditions to actually get the giant field enhancements. Indeed, the characteristic of a highly sensitive system is to drastically react with its environment. This is of great interest for sensing applications to detect very low concentrations and volumes but required specific attention in adjusting the external illumination conditions as well as fabrication parameters and errors that we did not mention here. This study paves the way toward “realistic” uses of giant fields sustained in multi-dielectrics.
