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 ...
It is generally accepted that the lifetimes of the localized plasmonic excitations are inherently controlled by the type of the metals and the shape of the nanoparticles. However, extended plasmonic lifetimes and enhanced near-fields in nanoparticle arrays ...
Among the most popular approaches used for simulating plasmonic systems, the discrete dipole approximation suffers from poorly scaling volume discretization and limited near-field accuracy. We demonstrate that transformation to a surface integral formulati ...
An optical technique devised for the detection of the ultrasharp angular resonance of long-range surface plasmons (LRSPs) is described. The LRSPs propagate along an 8 nm-thick palladium (Pd) film deposited on a one- dimensional photonic crystal structure a ...

We study the coupling of localized surface plasmon (LSP) and surface-plasmon polariton (SPP) modes in a system composed of a metallic nanoparticle chain separated from a thin metallic film by a dielectric spacer. The thickness of such a spacer influences t ...
This paper reports on the preparation of silver/antimony-doped tin oxide (Ag/SnO2:Sb) hybrid interfaces using magnetron sputtering and their characterization. The influence of the Sri target composition (doping with 2 or 5% Sb) on the electrochemical and e ...
An approximate analytical approach is developed for the calculation of the surface plasmon frequency of a system of interacting nanospheres for arbitrary values of interparticle distances. In addition to having a simple and physically clear form, the final ...
The propagation of surface plasmon polaritons guided along Au metal waveguides fabricated by electron-beam lithography is experimentally investigated using simultaneous near-field excitation and detection of plasmon-polariton modes localized at the air/Au ...
We present a direct evidence of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) waveguiding on ultrathin polymeric ridges, supported by near-field measurements. It is demonstrated that near-infrared BSWs sustained by a silicon-based multilayer can be locally coupled and guided ...
We present the first optical sensor based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) operating in the mid-infrared range. The experimental setup is based on a Kretschmann geometry with Ti/Au layers deposited on a CaF2 prism where light excitation is provided by a ...
