【 摘 要 】

The combination of 2D materials and surface plasmon can produce some novel optical phenomena that have attracted much attention. Illuminated by light with different polarization states, the field distribution around the plasmonic structure can control the light-matter interaction. The interaction between graphene and light can be strongly enhanced by employing radially polarized beams in a nanocavity. Here, we study the selectively enhanced vibration of graphene in a coupled plasmonic gold nanocavity with a radially polarized optical field, and the coupling and enhancing mechanisms are investigated both experimentally and numerically. By focusing a radially polarized beam, a high z component of a localized near field in the nanocavity is provided to strongly enhance the interaction between graphene and light, which can be used to enhance the vibrational signal of the interlayer. For the in-plane vibration of graphene, a similar enhancement is obtained with a linearly and radially polarized optical field. A plasmonic nanocavity is used to enhance the vibration of graphene, which provides potential applications in studying the out-of-plane vibration mode and exploring the mechanism of the interlayer coupling of 2D materials.
