Ten years ago, three teams experimentally demonstrated the first spasers, or plasmonic
nanolasers, after the spaser concept was first proposed theoretically in 2003. An overview of …

Molecular plasmonics, the area which deals with the interactions between surface plasmons
and molecules, has received enormous interest in fundamental research and found …

All-dielectric nanophotonics is an exciting and rapidly developing area of nano-optics that
utilizes the resonant behavior of high-index low-loss dielectric nanoparticles to enhance …

Optical metamaterials and nanoplasmonics bridge the gap between conventional optics and
the nanoworld. Exciting and technologically important capabilities range from …

This review provides a brief introduction to the physics of coupled exciton-plasmon systems,
the theoretical description and experimental manifestation of such phenomena, followed by …

Recent progress in nanofabrication has led to tremendous technological developments for
devices that rely on the interaction of light with nanostructured matter. Nanophotonics has …

Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) is a term that refers to electromagnetic resonances
through sets of subwavelength apertures in either a flat or a corrugated metal film, providing …

When light is brought to a standstill, its interaction with gain media increases dramatically
due to a singularity in the density of optical states. Concurrently, stopped light engenders an …

Strong coupling of quantum emitters with confined electromagnetic modes of nanophotonic
structures may be used to change optical, chemical, and transport properties of materials …

Due to their intuitiveness, flexibility, and relative numerical efficiency, the macroscopic
Maxwell–Bloch (MB) equations are a widely used semiclassical and semi …
