Abstract | Fluorescent emitters are quenched near the surfaces of metals via rapid energy transfer to the metal, via surface plasmons, waveguide modes, and absorption. Commonly, this quenching is reduced by introducing a polymeric or dielectric spacer but requires large distances, at least a fraction of the wavelength, between the metal and chromophore. Using the classical theory for a dipole above a metal/dielectric substrate, we investigate the fluorescent yield for emitters above a wide range of metals and spacers. For metals with low loss and low plasma frequencies, a high index spacer is shown to be advantageous for obtaining higher fluorescent yield in an "island of emission" at finely tuned spacer thickness just 20-30 nm from the metal surface. For such metal-dielectric combinations, fluorophores can be placed surprisingly close to the metal surface while remaining significantly emissive. |
