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 ...
We investigate numerically the effect of a finite metal film thickness on the propagation characteristics of the channel plasmon polariton (CPP) and wedge plasmon polariton (WPP) modes, both in a symmetric and asymmetric environment. We observe that decrea ...
Surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) – electromagnetic waves propagating on the boundary between a metal and a dielectric and tightly bound to the interface – have been known for years. Recent progresses in microfabrication methods, near-field characterizatio ...
We numerically study the effect of structural asymmetry in a plasmonic metamaterial made from gold nanowires. It is reported that optically inactive (i.e., optically dark) particle plasmon modes of the symmetric wire lattice are immediately coupled to the ...
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 ...
Luminescent markers play a key role in imaging techniques for life sciences since they provide a contrast mechanism between signal and background. We describe a new type of marker using second harmonic generation (SHG) from noncentrosymmetric BaTiO3 nanocr ...
We performed studies on microcavity polaritons trapped along the three dimensions of space, under resonant excitation on a confined lower polariton state. We observed various nonlinear behaviors as a function of the pump power, without any apparent loss of ...
We numerically study near-field-induced coupling effects in metal nanowire-based composite nanostructures. Our multi-layer system is composed of individual gold nanowires supporting localized particle plasmons at optical wavelengths, and a spatially separa ...
We model the parametric photoluminescence process of laterally confined polaritons in a mesa structure, patterned on a semiconductor microcavity. Parametric processes are described within the lowest order in the polariton-polariton interaction. We show how ...
We analyze the extraordinary transmission effect in the periodic and random nanoaperture arrays in optically thick metal films. Experimental studies are combined with simulations to show that extraordinary transmission effect at midinfrared wavelengths is ...
