Single-photon nanoantennas are broadband strongly scattering nanostructures placed in
the near field of a single quantum emitter, with the goal to enhance the coupling between the …

The modulation of luminescence is essential because unwanted spontaneous‐emission
modes have a negative effect on the performance of luminescence‐based photonic devices …

Photonic crystals have proven their potential and are nowadays a familiar concept. They
have been approached from many scientific and technological flanks. Among the many …

Control of spontaneously emitted light lies at the heart of quantum optics. It is essential for
diverse applications ranging from miniature lasers and light-emitting diodes,,,,, to single …

At the heart of modern oxide chemistry lies the recognition that beneficial (as well as
deleterious) materials properties can be obtained by deliberate deviations of oxygen atom …

Electromagnetic cavity modes in photonic and plasmonic resonators offer rich and attractive
regimes for tailoring the properties of light–matter interactions, yet there is a disturbing lack …

We present a detailed study of photonic band structure in certain self-organizing systems
that self-assemble into large-scale photonic crystals with photonic band gaps (PBGs) or …

Periodic nanostructures in photonics facilitate a far-reaching control of light propagation and
light–matter interaction. This article reviews the current status of this subject, including both …

We review basic quantum electrodynamics and quantum optics aspects in microstructures
that exhibit a gap in the spectrum of the electromagnetic radiation they support, known as …
