Abstract
We present a simple fabrication method for
embedding gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in a microfiber with two
main advantages. The GNPs are positioned within the
microfiber securing maximum enhancement of the electrical
field and protection of the GNPs from the surroundings;
moreover incoupling losses to the microfiber are reduced
significantly by integrating a single mode fiber in the device.
The average enhancement factor of the electric field within one
unit cell of the microfiber due to the GNPs is estimated to 17.4.
This enhancement leads to an enhanced Kerr effect near the
plasmon resonance frequency. The fabrication method is
demonstrated without GNPs.
