The characterization of the temporal profile of plasmonic fields is important both from the fundamental point of view and for potential applications in ultrafast nanoplasmonics. It has been proposed by Stockman et al (2007 Nat. Photonics 1 539) that the pl ...

In this work, we are demonstrating resonant light transmission through hybrid multi-layered plasmonic crystals, which are formed by a coupled nanohole and a nanoparticle array. This structures are shown to provide the conventional extraordinary optical tra ...
Photonic and plasmonic interactions in multi-layered plasmonic crystals, formed by coupling nanohole-nanoparticle arrays, are investigated. The hybrid structure exhibits extraordinary optical transmission as in single layer nanohole arrays and supports Fab ...
Acoustic lenses are employed in a variety of applications, from biomedical imaging and surgery to defense systems and damage detection in materials. Focused acoustic signals, for example, enable ultrasonic transducers to image the interior of the human bod ...
Plasmonics, by localizing light below sub-diffraction limit and enhancing local field intensities, is enabling exciting possibilities in bio-detection field. In this talk, I will present novel plasmonic systems for ultrasensitive vibrational nanospectrosco ...
In this work, we propose a unique plasmonic substrate that combine the strength of localized and extended surface plasmons for optical trapping, spectroscopy and biosensing, all in the same platform. The system is based on periodic arrays of gold nanopilla ...
We have investigated the nanotexture and crystallographic orientation of aragonite in a coral skeleton using synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Polarization-dependent STXM imaging at ...
We show that surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be concentrated to subwavelength dimensions in a nanoscale dielectric wedge on a metal substrate. An adiabatic model explains how SPPs propagating on a Ag substrate covered with a thin Si film of slowly in ...
We identify a route towards achieving a negative index of refraction at optical frequencies based on coupling between plasmonic waveguides that support backwards waves. We show how modal symmetry can be exploited in metal-dielectric waveguide pairs to achi ...
We present the characterization of short-range ordered hexagonal arrays of subwavelength holes in thin gold films. The hole arrays are fabricated by a low-cost technique using convectively self-assembled polystyrene beads as an initial pattern template. Ou ...
