Abstract

Successful control of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) through the engineering of the local density of optical states (LDOS) will allow us to develop novel strategies to fully exploit this phenomenon in key enabling technologies. Here we present an experimental and theoretical study on the effect of the LDOS on the FRET rate and efficiency in plasmonic nanopatch antennas formed between a gold nanoparticle and an extended silver film. Our results reveal that plasmonic nanopatch antennas of similar levels of LDOS exhibit comparable levels of FRET rate and FRET efficiency, demonstrating that LDOS plays an important part in controlling both FRET rate and efficiency. Our findings contribute to the ongoing debate about the relation between the FRET process and the LDOS, as well as directly impacting the development of novel FRET based light harvesting and sensing devices.
