The optically generated collective electron density waves on metal–dielectric boundaries
known as surface plasmons have been of great scientific interest since their discovery …

The nanoscale confinement and coupling of electromagnetic radiation into plexcitonic
modes has drawn immense interest because of the innovative possibilities for their …

Gold nanostructure arrays exhibit surface plasmon resonances that split after attaching light
harvesting complexes 1 and 2 (LH1 and LH2) from purple bacteria. The splitting is attributed …

Strong light-matter interaction leads to the formation of hybrid polariton states and can alter
the light-harvesting properties of natural photosynthetic systems without modifying their …

Abstract Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) is a chlorophyll-protein antenna complex that
efficiently absorbs solar energy and transfers electronic excited states to photosystems I and …

Nanoantennas are well-known for their effective role in fluorescence enhancement, both in
excitation and emission. Enhancements of 3–4 orders of magnitude have been reported. Yet …

Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) is a nonradiative process by which the energy of
light absorbed by a donor molecule is transferred to an acceptor molecule over a distance of …

We investigate the impact of the dipole-active modes formed via the mode-mixing of the
dipole mode with higher-order surface plasmon modes of a nanoegg on the radiative decay …

In strong plasmon–exciton coupling, a surface plasmon mode is coupled to an array of
localized emitters to yield new hybrid light–matter states (plexcitons), whose properties may …

Nanoantennae show potential for photosynthesis research for two reasons; first by spatially
confining light for experiments which require high spatial resolution, and second by …
