Nanoplasmonics is one of the most important growth areas of this century. It is part of nano-
optics and nanophotonics and deals with oscillations of electrons in metallic nanoparticles …

We study the nonhomogeneous heat equation under the form ut− uxx= φ (t) f (x), where the
unknown is the pair of functions (u, f). Under various assumptions about the function φ and …

We study the polarization characteristics of light emission and collection in the near field by
the tips of a Dual-SNOM (two scanning near-field optical microscopes) setup. We find that …

Light diffraction through a subwavelength aperture located at the apex of a metallic screen
with conical geometry is investigated theoretically. A method based on a multipole field …

Metamaterials (MMs) are artificial media tailoring the propagation of light by a design of a
unit cell (meta-atom, MA). There is the evident inclination in favor of numerical methods in …

We report on the linear and nonlinear optical response of metamaterials evoked by first-and
second-order multipoles. The analytical ground on which our approach is based permits for …

An ordered array of nanometer-sized optical apertures is created on the distal face of a
coherent optical fiber bundle. The fabrication steps derived from SNOM probes technology …

We present an analytical calculation of near–and far–field radiation emitted from a metal–
coated tapered fiber probe. From FDTD simulations made in Cartesian coordinates we find …

We present an experimental study on the diffraction of light by an aperture small compared
with the wavelength. The aperture is illuminated by laser light guided in a metal-clad tapered …

The emission of light is at the heart of both fundamental science and technological
applications. At its origin lie electronic transitions in nanoscale materials such as molecules …
