This work includes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures as well as the investigation of their optical properties in the near-field and in the farfield. As expressed in the title of this thesis the focus lies in the subwavelength confinement and enha ...
The evolution path of nanotechnologies moves through the domain of microscopy. Among all the kinds of imaging tools available today, optical imaging systems are of primary importance. When using optical imaging systems, we take profit of the information re ...

We present a far-field optical technique allowing measurements of the dispersion relation of electromagnetic fields propagating under the light cone in photonic nanostructures. It relies on the use of a one-dimensional grating to probe the evanescent tail of ...
In this thesis work we avail ourselves of optical interferometric techniques for the study of the optical properties of nano-structured materials. As a first step, we set up a multiple heterodyne scanning probe optical microscope (MH-SPOM). This apparatus ...

We address the problem of both estimating the dominant person in a meeting from a single audio source and identifying them visually in a multi-camera setting. We use a speaker diarization algorithm to perform speaker segmentation and clustering, representi ...
High Resolution Interference Microscopy (HRIM) is a technique that allows the characterization of amplitude and phase of electromagnetic wave-fields in the far-field with a spatial accuracy that corresponds to a few nanometers in the object plane. Emphasis ...
We address the problem of both estimating the dominant person in a meeting from a single audio source and identifying them visually in a multi-camera setting. We use a speaker diarization algorithm to perform speaker segmentation and clustering, representi ...
We report computational and experimental investigations on injection and transmission of light in microfabricated fully Aluminum-coated quartz probes. In particular, we show that a selective coupling of either the HE11 or the TM01 mode can be carried out b ...
In this paper we present a new set of non-linear PML equations for the multi-dimensional Maxwell's equation and show that they are strongly well posed and temporally stable. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity of the new method. ...
The correlation between the Bostwick degree and the static rheological properties of yield stress food fuids is first revisited and then reformulated in this work. The role of the yield stress in the free surface flow of the Bostwick test is studied using ...
