Nonlinear optics at the nanoscale
Development of nanotechnologies and interest for metamaterials has put a renewed interest on the subject of nonlinear optical properties of patterned metallic structures. Structures made of metal sub-wavelength objects like nanorods , or nano horseshoe shaped resonators and nanowires periodically arranged in dielectric matrices have been realized and linearly characterized. The same way, the li...
متن کاملTransformation optics for plasmonics.
A new strategy to control the flow of surface plasmon polaritons at metallic surfaces is presented. It is based on the application of the concept of transformation optics to devise the optical parameters of the dielectric medium placed on top of the metal surface. We describe the general methodology for the design of transformation optical devices for surface plasmons and analyze, for proof-of-...
متن کاملMolecular plasmonics: light meets molecules at the nanoscale.
Certain metal nanoparticles exhibit the effect of localized surface plasmon resonance when interacting with light, based on collective oscillations of their conduction electrons. The interaction of this effect with molecules is of great interest for a variety of research disciplines, both in optics and in the life sciences. This paper attempts to describe and structure this emerging field of mo...
متن کاملPlasmonics Meets Biology through Optics
Plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (NPs) represent a relevant class of nanomaterials, which is able to achieve light localization down to nanoscale by exploiting a phenomenon called Localized Plasmon Resonance. In the last few years, NPs have been proposed to trigger DNA release or enhance ablation of diseased tissues, while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. In view of the therapeutic relevan...
متن کاملPlasmonics: merging photonics and electronics at nanoscale dimensions.
Electronic circuits provide us with the ability to control the transport and storage of electrons. However, the performance of electronic circuits is now becoming rather limited when digital information needs to be sent from one point to another. Photonics offers an effective solution to this problem by implementing optical communication systems based on optical fibers and photonic circuits. Un...
