Plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCRs) are processes that make use of
nanostructure-based surface plasmons as mediators to redistribute and convert photon …

The exponentially growing works on 2D materials have resulted in both high scientific
interest and huge potential applications in nanocatalysis, optoelectronics, and spintronics …

The birth of terahertz imaging approximately coincides with the birth of the journal Optics
Express. The 20^ th anniversary of the journal is therefore an opportune moment to consider …

The mechanical properties of ordinary materials degrade substantially with reduced density
because their structural elements bend under applied load. We report a class of …

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 …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

Optical antennas are devices that convert freely propagating optical radiation into localized
energy, and vice versa. They enable the control and manipulation of optical fields at the …

This review provides a broad overview of the studies and effects of nonlocal response in
metallic nanostructures. In particular, we thoroughly present the nonlocal hydrodynamic …

Based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of metallic nanoparticles,
plasmonic nanosensors have emerged as a powerful tool for biosensing applications. Many …

When light interacts with a metal nanoparticle (NP), its conduction electrons can be driven
by the incident electric field in collective oscillations known as localized surface plasmon …
