title: Temporal control of local plasmon distribution on Au nanocrosses by ultra-broadband femtosecond laser pulses and its application for selective two-photon excitation of multiple fluorophores.
abstract: We theoretically demonstrate spatiotemporal control of local plasmon distribution on Au nanocrosses, which have different aspect ratios, by chirped ultra-broadband femtosecond laser pulses. We also demonstrate selective excitation of fluorescence proteins using this spatiotemporal local plasmon control technique for applications to two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy.
