Microcavity exciton-polaritons are half-matter half-light quasiparticles with outstanding properties. This offers a great way to access and control fundamental excitations in a solid by simple optical means. Therefore, apart from their importance in fundam ...
Future photonic circuits with the capability of high-speed data processing at optical frequencies will rely on the implementation of efficient emitters and detectors on the nanoscale. Towards this goal, bridging the size mismatch between optical radiation ...
We demonstrate a novel fabrication approach for high-throughput fabrication of engineered infrared plasmonic nanorod antenna arrays with nanostencil lithography (NSL). NSL technique, relying on deposition of materials through a shadow mask, offers the flex ...
We demonstrate polariton lasing in a bulk ZnO planar microcavity under non-resonant optical pumping at a small negative detuning (delta similar to -1/6 the 130 meV vacuum Rabi splitting) and a temperature of 120 K. The strong coupling regime is maintained ...
An alternative route to plasmon-controlled fluorescence for improving the detection of fluorescence is proposed. In place of a metallic layer, a suitable silicon-based one-dimensional photonic crystal is used to generate a Bloch surface waves-coupled emiss ...
We introduce an approach enabling construction of a scalable metamaterial media supporting multispectral plasmon induced transparency. The composite multilayered media consist of coupled meta-atoms with radiant and sub-radiant hybridized plasmonic modes in ...
We experimentally investigate the optomechanical properties of a conventional two-dimensional suspended photonic crystal defect cavity. Particularly, we measure localized mechanical modes in the GHz regime exhibiting high values of the optomechanical vacuu ...

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 ...
This thesis explores the properties of the transmission of light through subwavelength slits in metal films. Theoretical and experimental studies on the transmission through slits in metals are presented. In addition, the potential use of these slits for d ...
In this thesis, we present the development of a tunable Multi-Heterodyne Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (MH-SNOM). This instrument has been built and evaluated for the investigation of optical near fields in amplitude, phase and polarization. With ...
