Abstract
Plasmonic nanoantennas featuring nanoscale gaps can exhibit strongly enhanced optical near-fields that have been extensively used in surface enhanced spectroscopy (Raman and Fluorescence) and in biosensing. However, deterministic nanostructures do not provide enough degrees of freedom to control optically these local field enhancements. By comparison, wavefront shaping techniques in disordered scattering media provide numerous degrees of freedom to control light focusing in space and time [1]. To associate local field enhancements and far-field wavefront control, we use disordered plasmonic surfaces close to the percolation threshold (see Fig. 1-a) that feature both hotspots [2] and delocalized plasmon modes. Disordered plasmonic surfaces can be controlled using a spatial light modulator [3].
