Characteristics of gold nanorods in volume holographic nanocomposites

摘要

Gold nanorod has generated great research interests due to its tunable surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The mechanism of the SPR effect on the enhancements of optical performance for the volume holographic polymer is investigated. The resonance wavelength is dependent on the aspect ratio of the nanorod. Theoretical model for the localized surface plasmon resonance effect are developed and simulated for the interactions between the photopolymer components and nanorods in the gold nanorod doped volume holographic photopolymer. The experimental evaluation of the material suggests a novel candidate for potential applications in high-density optical data storage and high-resolution holographic display.
