Controlling the magnetic and electric responses of dielectric nanoparticles via near-field coupling

Olivier Martin, Andrei Kiselev

Among the two materials families used in nanophotonics, the fundamental mode for metal nanostructures is electric, while that for dielectric nanostructures is magnetic. Consequently, the optical properties of hybrid dimers that incorporate both materials h ...

Plasmon-induced near-infrared fluorescence enhancement of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Giulia Tagliabue, Amirmostafa Amirjani, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Sayyed Hashem Sajjadi, Shang-Jung Wu, Alessandra Antonucci, Theodoros Tsoulos

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence that is ideal for optical sensing. However, the low quantum yields diminish the sensor’s signal-to-noise ratio and limits the penetration depths for in vivo measurements. In this ...

Disentangling Light- and Temperature-Induced Thermal Effects in Colloidal Au Nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Lijie Wang, Davood Zare

We present temperature-dependent (from room temperature to 80 degrees C) absorption spectra of Au/SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) (core diameter: similar to 25 nm) in water in the range from 1.5 to 4.5 eV, which spans the localized surface plasmon reso ...

Robustness Analysis of Metasurfaces: Perfect Structures Are Not Always the Best

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Hsiang-Chu Wang

Optical metasurfaces rely on subwavelength scale nanostructures, which puts significant constraints on nanofabrication accuracies. These constraints are becoming increasingly important, as metasurfaces are maturing toward real applications that require the ...
