Abstract

The unidirectional emission of quantum dots (QDs) positioned near a plasmonic metasurface is demonstrated. By exploiting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited on a gold film beneath the emitter, emission with a controlled angle and reduced dependence on emitter positioning is achieved. The photoluminescence intensity varies with the relative position of the excitation spot to the edge of metasurface, exhibiting exponential decay with distance, while the main outcoupling angle remains stable beyond 20 microns. Numerical simulations reveal interference effects between light scattered at
the boundary and light transmitted and decoupled by the array, leading to oscillations in emission intensity and spectral shape. Lifetime measurements confirm that the structure filters out weakly coupled emission. The periodic nature of the plasmonic metasurface enables precise angular control, opening avenues for scalable photonic devices with tunable directional emission.
