Abstract
With a systematic computational study, we show that by engineering a plasmonic mirror between a metallic substrate and gold nanoparticles, high local electromag-netic field enhancement can be achieved-reaching two orders of magnitude higher than that computed for metallic particle-particle (dimer) interactions. In addition, our structure allows the cavity-particle gap distance between to be precisely controlled, and is suitable for batch processing. Hence, our design is an excellent candidate for spectroscopic techniques such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and plasmonic enhancement of fluorescence.
