摘要

Abstract

Plasmonic metasurfaces supporting high-quality (Q) resonances offer unprecedented ways for controlling light-matter interaction at the nanoscale

yet scalable fabrication of such sophisticated nanostructures still relies on expensive and multi-step fabrication routes

hindering their practical application. Here

we produced plasmonic metasurfaces composed of the regular arrangement of hollow protruding nanobumps via direct femtosecond laser patterning of thin gold films. By using comprehensive optical modeling

infrared spectroscopy and angle-resolved third harmonic generation experiments

we justified that such laser-printed nanostructures support symmetry-protected plasmonic quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBIC) with a measured Q-factor up to 20. Moreover

under critical coupling conditions that match the radiative and nonradiative losses of the high-Q mode

the metasurfaces demonstrate the third harmonic generation enhanced by a factor of ≈10

as compared to the smooth Au film benchmark

proving structure efficiency for nonlinear conversion. Finally

by taking advantage of the simplicity and straightforward character of the laser printing process

we realized a field-effect transistor device with HgTe quantum dots as an active medium and qBIC-supporting plasmonic metasurface imprinted over drain and source electrodes. The resulting metasurface-empowered device operates at 200 K and 5 V bias voltage and demonstrates superior specific detectiv

ity around 8.7 × 10

at the plasmonic-qBIC spectral region and fast response time

holding promise for the realization of advanced shortwave infrared photodetectors.
