Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is an optical phenomena generated by light
when it interacts with conductive nanoparticles (NPs) that are smaller than the incident …

The complementary optical properties of surface plasmon excitations of metal
nanostructures and long-lived excitations of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) make them …

Optical antennas are an emerging concept in physical optics. Similar to radiowave and
microwave antennas, their purpose is to convert the energy of free propagating radiation to …

We have solved the long-standing problem of the mechanism of terahertz (THz) generation
by a two-color filament in air and found that both neutrals and plasma contribute to the …

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic (EM) modes propagating along
metal–dielectric interfaces, in which surface collective excitations of free electrons in the …

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

The use of fluorescent nanoparticles as probes for bioanalytical applications is a highly
promising technique because fluorescence-based techniques are very sensitive. Quantum …

We report on the strong polarization dependence of the plasmon-enhanced fluorescence on
single gold nanorods. The fluorescence from the organic fluorophores that are embedded in …

We use photoinduced absorption spectroscopy to measure long-lived photogenerated
charge carriers in optically thin donor/acceptor conjugated polymer blend films near …

We present an experimental demonstration of strong coupling between a surface plasmon
propagating on a planar silver thin film and the lowest excited state of CdSe nanocrystals …
