Bloch surface waves (BSWs) on one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) have been
used to beam the fluorescence emission from the dye molecules. All dielectric 1DPC …

Tamm plasmons (TPs) are the result of trapping optical energy at the interface between a
metal film and a one-dimensional photonic crystal. In contrast to surface plasmons, TPs …

Emission pattern of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from the junction of single
nanoparticle and a metal film was experimentally demonstrated. The presence of a thin …

Although surface-plasmon-coupled emission-based fluorescence microscopy proves high
sensitivity for surface imaging, its donut shape point spread function (PSF) leads to low …

Except for the commonly used surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), in this letter we
demonstrate that waveguide modes (WMs) can realize the large area sub-wavelength …

Transparent heat mirrors are spectrally selective coatings that transmit light and reflect heat
in the form of infrared radiation. In this work, these coatings were achieved by depositing a …

The unique optical properties of Tamm plasmons (TPs)–such as flexible wavevector
matching conditions including inplane wavevector within the light line, and existing both S …

Conventional surface plasmons (SPs) or Bloch surface waves (BSWs) have a wave vector
exceeding that of light in vacuum, and, therefore, the surface plasmon-coupled emission …

In this paper, we will demonstrate that excited dye molecules can be used to launch the
plasmonic Bloch waves (PBWs) propagating at multi-metal–dielectric interfaces. The …

A dark-field imaging technique taking advantage of the active polymer slab waveguide
(APSW) is experimentally investigated. The dye molecules (Rhodamine 6G, Rh6G) are …
