Enhancement of sub-wavelength optical fields using sub-micron plasmonic probes has
found many applications in chemical, material, biological and medical sciences. The …

We demonstrate an optical trapping technique that integrates the light guiding of an optical
fiber with the field localization of a nanoaperture in a gold film. A key innovation of our …

In this paper, we demonstrate that the optical electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of
plasmonic nanoantennas are substantially enhanced on combining the plasmonic …

In this work, we report a strategy of Ag nanoparticle (Ag NP)-coated tapered optical fiber
probes by finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. Investigation shows that the …

A round-tower (RT) plasmonic tip based on an optical microfiber for nanofocusing is
proposed. Its operation principle is systematically analyzed by theoretical methods. Four …

Periodic structures have attracted huge research interest over the past many years due to
their interesting electromagnetic properties. There are lots of useful applications in the fields …

In this paper, we analyze the ultrafast temporal and spectral responses of optical fields in
tapered and metalized optical fibers (MOFs) and optical plasmon nanostrip probes (NPs) …

In this paper, we employ finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations to show that
plasmonic nanoantenna structures present on tips of tapered optical fibers have significantly …
