The focus of this dissertation is two-pronged: 1. Extending the capability of laser interference
lithographic technique to fabricate novel nanostructured surfaces and 2. Application of the …

We investigate numerically the evolution of a particular type of non-diffracting pulsed
plasmonic beam called Airy plasmon pulses. A suitable diffraction grating is obtained by …

Modulation of the optical index by means of atomic and material resonances provides a
basis for controlling light propagation in natural and artificially fabricated materials. In …

Manipulation of light fields at will is a long-sought goal in the optics community. In this
regard, holography, a technology that can modulate an arbitrary light wavefront including not …

The capability of light goes well beyond illumination, yet it is so underused in our lives
because the control of light still largely relies on clumsy bulk lenses. Less than 10 years ago …
