In this review we look at the concepts and state-of-the-art concerning the strong coupling of
surface plasmon-polariton modes to states associated with quantum emitters such as …

Frequency conversion has always been an important topic in optics. Nonlinear optics has
traditionally focused on frequency conversion based on nonlinear susceptibility but with the …

Light–matter strong coupling allows for the possibility of entangling the wave functions of
different molecules through the light field. We hereby present direct evidence of non …

We present direct evidence of enhanced non‐radiative energy transfer between two J‐
aggregated cyanine dyes strongly coupled to the vacuum field of a cavity. Excitation …

Upconversion, the conversion of photons from lower to higher energies, is a process that
promises applications ranging from high-efficiency photovoltaic and photocatalytic cells to …

Lanthanide (Ln3+)-based nanoparticles (NPs) with light emission in the ultraviolet (UV),
visible, and near-infrared (NIR) region under NIR excitation are emerging multifunctional …

The extraordinary optical properties of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures provide the
possibilities to enhance and accelerate the spontaneous emission, and manipulate the …

In this study, we overview resonance energy transfer between molecules in the presence of
plasmonic structures and derive an explicit Förster-type expression for the rate of plasmon …

Many treatments of energy transfer (ET) phenomena in current literature employ incorrect
arguments and formulae and are not quantitative enough. This is unfortunate because we …

The Purcell effect is defined as a modification of the spontaneous emission rate of a
quantum emitter at the presence of a resonant cavity. However, a change of the emission …
