Abstract

In this study, we present a description of an Au nanobead array-based optical recoding mechanism using the near-field strong enhancement induced by localized surface plasmon resonance. Through a numerical Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulation, we find that a strong field enhancement by originating from the coupled plasmon mode can be induced between closely spaced Au nanoparticles (NPs) arranged on the top surface of a recording medium. The calculated maximum power density inside the recording layer in the case of the Au NPs’ density = 55% (λ = 658 nm) is ~ 56% higher than that of the case without the Au NP array. Moreover, our phase-change recording experiment using an Au NP array verifies the functionality of localized surface plasmon resonance-based optical recording.
