Mapping gigahertz vibrations in a plasmonic–phononic crystal

We image the gigahertz vibrational modes of a plasmonic–phononic crystal at sub-micron resolution by means of an ultrafast optical technique, using a triangular array of spherical gold nanovoids as a sample. Light is strongly coupled to the plasmonic modes, which interact with the gigahertz phonons...
