Abstract
In this Letter, we use electromagnetic simulations to systematically investigate the influence of a thin dielectric layer on the local electric field and molecular spectroscopy in the plasmonic junction. It is found that both the intensity and spatial confinement of the electric field and molecular spectroscopy can be significantly enhanced by applying a dielectric layer with large dielectric constant. We also discuss the optimal dielectric layer thickness to obtain the largest quantum efficiency of a dipole emitter. These results may be instructive for further studies in molecular spectroscopy and optoelectronics in plasmonic junctions.
