We present a review of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA), which is a general method
to simulate light scattering by arbitrarily shaped particles. We put the method in historical …

The light-matter interaction has been at the heart of major advances from the atomic scale
right to the microscopic scale over the past four decades. Confinement by light, embodied by …

The open-source code ADDA is described, which implements the discrete dipole
approximation (DDA), a method to simulate light scattering by finite 3D objects of arbitrary …

Nanostructured materials offer the possibility to tailor light–matter interaction at scales below
the wavelength. Metallic nanostructures benefit from the excitation of surface plasmons that …

We investigate the quantum optical properties of a quantum-dot dipole emitter coupled to a
finite-size metal nanoparticle using a photon Green-function technique that rigorously …

In this paper, we review the recent advances which have taken place in the understanding
and applications of acoustic/elastic metamaterials. Metamaterials are artificially created …

There are many methods for rigorously calculating electromagnetic diffraction by objects of
arbitrary shape and permittivity. In this article, we will detail the discrete dipole …

Molecular vibrations couple to visible light only weakly, have small mutual interactions, and
hence are often ignored for non-linear optics. Here we show the extreme confinement …

In present study, a simple and effective surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tape
sensing strategy based on bipyramid gold nanoparticles (BP-AuNPs) was developed for …
