Optical Plasmonic Trapping

Lina Huang

This work focuses on trapping subwavelength objects using resonant plasmonic structures. Trapping entities include latex spheres, living cells and metallic particles; the plasmonic structures involved include subwavelength disks, subwavelength apertures, a ...

Mid-infrared surface plasmon resonance sensing applied to refractive index measurements of liquids

Sylvain Herminjard

There has been a very strong development of the sensors based on surface plasmon resonance during the last thirty years, mostly for biological and biomedical applications. If the first experiments in this field were carried out at the beginning of the 20t ...

Nanostructured Functional Particles and Surfaces

Arthur Olivier Joseph Ganz

Topographic nanostructuring of surfaces is a promising concept, in particular to improve the bio-integration of titanium orthopedic implants. In this context, a new method for the nanostructuring of anodised titanium surfaces was developed. Ordered topogra ...

Digital holography for second harmonic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Etienne Shaffer

Quantitative phase images make digital holographic microscopy (DHM) an excellent instrument for metrological, but also for biological applications, where it can reveal deformations and morphological details at ultrahigh resolution in the order of a few nan ...

Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy Study of Biomolecules, Elaboration of New SNOM Probes and Detection Methods

Mounir Driss Mensi

The combination of the topographic resolution of Scanning Probe Microscopy with the subwavelength information of light/matter interaction leads to a new instrument called Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM). This new instrument is an ideal tool t ...

Optical trapping and sensing with plasmonic dipole antennas

Olivier Martin

In this work, we study how to use a plasmonic dipole antenna as a multifunctional nanodevice for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) -based sensing and optical trapping. An analytical model is implemented ...

Near-field scanning optical microscopy using polymethylmethacrylate optical fiber probes

Giovanni Dietler, Mounir Driss Mensi, Kanat Dukenbayev

We report the first use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber-made probes for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The sharp tips were prepared by chemical etching of the fibers in ethyl acetate, and the probes were prepared by proper gl ...
