Publication number: 20180203264Abstract: Optical devices that include one or more structures fabricated from polar-dielectric materials that exhibit surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), where the SPhPs alter the optical properties of the structure. The optical properties lent to these structures by the SPhPs are altered by introducing charge carriers directly into the structures. The carriers can be introduced into these structures, and the carrier concentration thereby controlled, through optical pumping or the application of an appropriate electrical bias.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2018Publication date: July 19, 2018Applicant: The Goverment of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: James Peter Long, Joshua D. Caldwell, Jeffrey C. Owrutsky, Orest J. Glembocki

Patent number: 8831386Abstract: Protein scaffolds from tobacco mosaic virus coat protein modified to incorporate polyhistidine can bind to a metal or a dye while having improved self-assembly characteristics. The scaffold can take the form of tubes or disks, and can further be formed into dual plasmonic ring resonators. Such self-assembled structures provide useful optical properties.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Banahalli R. Ratna, Amy S. Blum, Carissa M. Soto, Michael A. Bruckman, Jinny Lin Liu, Ronald W. Rendell, James Peter Long, Ronald J. Tonucci

Publication number: 20110215705Abstract: A surface plasmon polariton device that may be integrated onto a single microchip is disclosed. The device employs a laser that emits polarized light across a gap into a plasmonic waveguide. Surface plasmon polaritons are thereby created in an efficient matter. The device provides a source of surface plasmon polaritons at near infrared wavelengths in an integrated package.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2010Publication date: September 8, 2011Inventors: James Peter Long, Chul-soo Kim, James R. Lindle, Jerry R. Meyer, Igor Vurgaftman
