Abstract
The effect of plasmonic enhancement on the two-photon absorption cross section of organic chromophores attached to polyelectrolyte-coated gold nanorods was investigated. The magnitudes of such enhancements were confirmed using single and two photon excitations of the chromophore molecules bound to polyelectrolyte-coated gold nanorods. By synthesizing two-, four-, six-, and eight-polyelectrolyte layer coated nanorods of a particular aspect ratio, the distance dependence of the evanescent electromagnetic field on molecular two-photon absorption was observed. Enhancements of 40-fold were observed for the chromophores nearest to the surface.Mesh:
