Plasmonics has emerged as an important research field in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Recently, significant attention has been devoted to the observation and the understanding of nonlinear optical processes in plasmonic nanostructures, giving rise to th ...

By introducing the difference permittivity ratio eta=(epsilon (2)-epsilon (0))/(epsilon (1)-epsilon (0)), the Green matrix method for computing surface plasmon resonances is extended to binary nanostructures. Based on the near field coupling, the interplay ...

Second harmonic generation from plasmonic nanoantennas is investigated numerically using a surface integral formulation for the calculation of both the fundamental and the second harmonic electric field. The comparison between a realistic and an idealized ...

Nonlinear processes are important in many fields of photonics ranging from biomedical imaging to ultrashort pulse generation. Progress in nanophotonics and metamaterials has created a growing demand for nanoscale nonlinear optical components. However, it i ...

Adhesion layers, required to stabilize metallic nanostngtures, dramatically deteriorate the performances of plasmonic sensors, by severely damping the plasmon modes. In this article, we show that these detrimental effects critically depend on the overlap o ...

The plasmon enhancement of molecular hyper-Raman scattering, the nonlinear counterpart of Raman scattering, which involves the absorption of two fundamental photons, is investigated with emphasis on low energy molecular vibrations. The two-photon excitatio ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the life of every cell, including cellular defense and signaling mechanisms. Continuous and quantitative ROS sensing can provide valuable information about the cell state, but it remains a challenge t ...

We present a numerical study of the tunability properties of a plasmonic subwavelength particle deposited on a metallic slab. The particle is composed of a metallic part, supporting a localized plasmon mode, separated from the slab by a dielectric spacer. ...

We study the effect of realistically rounding nanorod antennae and gap antennae on their far field and near field properties. The simulations show that both scattering behaviour and polarisation charge distribution depend significantly on rounding. Roundin ...

We perform a systematic study showing the evolution of the multipoles along with the spectra for a hybrid metal-dielectric nanoantenna, a Si cylinder and an Ag disk stacked one on top of another, as its dimensions are varied one by one. We broaden our anal ...

We demonstrate a nonlinear plasmonic metasurface that exhibits strongly asymmetric second-harmonic generation: nonlinear scattering is efficient upon excitation in one direction, and it is substantially suppressed when the excitation direction is reversed, ...

We demonstrate that it is possible to combine several small metallic particles in a very compact geometry without loss of their individual modal properties by adding a gold metallic film underneath. This film essentially acts as a "ground plane" which chan ...

Materials are, in general, either transparent or not. In principle, it is impossible to switch a material from a reflective optical state to a fully transparent one. Transparency has received relatively less research attention compared to other optical pro ...

The optical characterization of metasurfaces and nanostructures that alter the polarization of light is tricky and can lead to unphysical results, such as reflectance beyond unity. We track the origin of such pitfalls to the response of some typical optica ...

During the last decade, important attention has been devoted to the observation of nonlinear optical processes in plasmonic nanosystems, giving rise to a new field of research called nonlinear plasmonics. The cornerstone of nonlinear plasmonics is the use ...

This study sheds light on the short-term dynamics of pro-oxidant processes related to the exposure of C. reinhardtii microalgae to nano-TiO2 using (a) conventional fluorescence probes for cellular pro-oxidant process and (b) a recently developed cytochrome ...

We analyze the influence of near-field coupling on the formation of collective plasmon modes in a multilayer metallic nanowire array. It is shown that the spectral interference between super- and subradiant normal modes results in characteristic line shape ...

The influence of Fano resonances on the nonlinear response of hybrid plasmonic nanostructures, i.e., nanoantennas loaded with a nonlinear optical material, is theoretically investigated using the combination of a surface integral equation method and an ana ...

We study theoretically and demonstrate experimentally a 16 -band narrow band wavelength selective filter in the near -infrared range. The combination of a pair of distributed Bragg reflectors with a sub -wavelength grating metasurface embedded in the intra ...
