Raman scattering near metal nanostructures

Not Accessible

Abstract

We study Raman scattering in active media placed in proximity to different types of metal nanostructures, at wavelengths that display either Fabry–Perot or plasmonic resonances, or a combination of both. We use a semiclassical approach to derive equations of motion for Stokes and anti-Stokes fields that arise from quantum fluctuations. Our calculations suggest that local field enhancement yields Stokes and anti-Stokes conversion efficiencies between 5 and 7 orders of magnitudes larger compared to cases without the metal nanostructure. We also show that to first order in the linear susceptibility the local field correction induces a dynamic, intensity-dependent frequency detuning that at high intensities tends to quench Raman gain.
