Abstract

The development of actively tunable plasmonic nanostructures enables real-time and on-demand enhancement of optical signals. This is an essential requirement for a wide range of applications such as sensing and nanophotonic devices. Here we show that by modifying the transition energies of a material via the application of an electric field, the Stark effect offers practical approach to realise nano-scattering sources with high integration potential and a direct method to probe the excitonic properties of semiconducting materials on the nanoscale.
