Pairs of metal nanoparticles with a sub-10 nm gap are an efficient way to achieve extreme near-field enhancement for sensing applications. We demonstrate an attractive alternative based on Fabry-Perot type nanogap resonators, where the resonance is defined ...

In this article we compare the two-photon photoluminescence and second harmonic generation from single connected gold nanodimers. Analyzing the particle size-dependent nonlinear optical spectra and performing excitation polarization resolved measurements u ...

Dielectric metasurfaces have shown prominent applications in nonlinear optics due to strong field enhancement and low dissipation losses at the nanoscale. Chalcogenide glasses are one of the promising materials for the observation of nonlinear effects than ...

By combining the field-susceptibility technique with the optical Bloch equations, a general formalism is developed for the investigation of molecular photophysical phenomena triggered by nanometer scale optical fields in the presence of complex environment ...

In this study, we introduce a semi-classical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) framework for modeling molecule-plasmon interactions in three dimensions. By integrating molecular rate equations with electromagnetic field calculations on the Yee grid, the ...

An ab initio theory for Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials is de- veloped using Feshbach formalism. It reveals the role played by the electromagnetic modes and material losses in the system, and enables the engineering of Fano re ...

Reflectivity modulation is a critical feature for applicationsin telecommunications, 3D imaging and printing, advanced laser machining,or portable displays. Tunable metasurfaces have recently emerged asa promising implementation for miniaturized and high-p ...

We report on the characterization of long-range surface plasmon waveguide bends at telecom wavelengths (lambda=1550 nm). The structures consist of a thin Au stripe embedded in a transparent polymer film. When the polymer thickness is larger than the latera ...

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is investigated from three kinds of lithographically fabricated plasmonic systems: Al monomers, Au monomers and Au-Al heterodimers with nanogaps of 20 nm. Spectrally integrated SHG intensities and the linear optical respons ...

We propose to control the motion of nanoparticles using phase-gradient metasurfaces. The latter are used to generate surface waves, which put the particles into motion, when illuminated by a normally incident plane wave. We present an initial study of the ...

The visual appearance of any colorized object is usually determined by the spectral absorption of either pigments or dyes. One can however also colorize objects with structural colors that typically have an iridescent appearance, as seen on many beetles. T ...

It has been observed that achiral nanoparticles, such as flat helices, may be subjected to an optical torque even when illuminated by normally incident linearly polarized light. However, the origin of this fascinating phenomenon has so far remained mostly ...

An up-scalable approach for creating Fano-resonant nanostructures on large surfaces at visible wavelengths is demonstrated. The use of processes suitable for high throughput fabrication and the choice of aluminum as a cost-efficient plasmonic material ensu ...

We establish a general method to bridge the gap between full-field electromagnetic calculations and equivalent lumped circuit elements to describe the optical response of plasmonic nanostnictures. The exact value of each lumped element is extracted from on ...

Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) from nanostructured graphene has been studied in the framework of classical electromagnetism using a surface integral equation method. Single disks and dimers are considered, demonstrating that the nonlinear convers ...

We present our recent progress pertaining to the synthesis and analysis of bianisotropic linear and nonlinear metasurfaces. These developments are based on the generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs), which provide a very complete and general metho ...

Single nanoantenna spectroscopy was carried out on realistic dipole nanoantennas with various arm lengths and gap sizes fabricated by electron-beam lithography. A significant difference in resonance wavelength between realistic and ideal nanoantennas was f ...

The cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptide ligands of cells have become widely used for treating several cancers. We report a highly sensitive analysis of c(RGDfC) using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using single dimer nanogap antennas in aqueous environme ...

We analyze the superposition of Cartesian multipoles to reveal the mechanisms underlying the origin of optical forces. We show that a multipolar decomposition approach significantly simplifies the analysis of this problem and leads to a very intuitive expl ...

Understanding the behavior of surfactants at interfaces is crucial for many applications in materials science and chemistry. Optical tweezers combined with trajectory analysis can become a powerful tool for investigating surfactant characteristics. In this ...
