In the past decade, the exploration for frugal nanomaterials that manipulate the electromagnetic field for the development of next-generation plasmonic technologies has been on the rise. Fractal nanoparticles with augmented electromagnetic field enhancements have their utility in broad-band optics and electrochemical applications. Here we present a simple, ultrafast method to deposit fractal carbon islands from candle soot on plastic substrates. Fractal carbon islands, generated here, have been utilized in spacer and cavity architectures that provide an 80-fold enhancement in directional and beaming emissions from radiating dipoles coupled to surface plasmon polaritons.
