The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

Promising designs and experimental realizations of devices with unusual properties in the
field of plasmonics have attracted a great deal of attention over the past few decades …

Refractory materials are defined as those with a high melting point and chemical stability at
temperatures above 2000° C. Applications based on refractory materials, usually …

Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) associated with metallic nanostructures
offer unique possibilities for light concentration beyond the diffraction limit, which can lead to …

Plasmonic devices, made of apertures or antennas, have played significant roles in
advancing the fields of optics and opto-electronics by offering subwavelength manipulation …

The key problem currently faced by plasmonics is related to material limitations. After almost
two decades of extreme excitement and research largely based on the use of noble metals …

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 …

Optical manipulation and detection of nanoscale biospecimen such as organic
nanoparticles, biomolecules, bacterial viruses, and subcellular nanostructures, is crucial in …

We demonstrate dynamic trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles with plasmonic
holograms. By tailoring the illumination pattern of an incident light beam with a computer …

We experimentally demonstrate protein binding at the single particle level. A double
nanohole (DNH) optical trap was used to hold onto a 20 nm biotin-coated polystyrene (PS) …
