Nanoaperture optical tweezers are emerging as useful label-free, free-solution tools for the
detection and identification of biological molecules and their interactions at the single …

High-harmonic generation by focusing a femtosecond laser onto a gas is a well-known
method of producing coherent extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) light,,. This nonlinear conversion …

Light-induced thermal heating of noble metal nanostructures has found many applications in
biological detection,[1, 2] remote release of encapsulated material,[3] photothermal …

Optical tweezers have found many applications in biology, but for reasonable intensities,
conventional traps are limited to particles> 100 nm in size. We use a double-nanohole in a …

This consistent and systematic review of recent advances in optical antenna theory and
practice brings together leading experts in the fields of electrical engineering, nano-optics …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

Resonant optical antennas are ideal for nanoscale nonlinear optical interactions due to their
inherent strong local field enhancement. Indeed second-and third-order nonlinear response …

We demonstrate that the optical response of a single Au bowtie nanoantenna can be
favorably modified to increase the local intensity by a factor of 103 in the feed gap region …

Recently, we showed that the plasmon resonance coupling between two interacting metal
nanoparticles decays with the interparticle separation (in units of particle size) with the same …

In this communication, we systematically investigate the effects of Fano-type coupling
between long-range photonic resonances and localized surface plasmons on the second …
