This review provides a perspective on the recent developments in the transmission of light
through subwavelength apertures in metal films. The main focus is on the phenomenon of …

In this review, an overview of the subwavelength confinement of light with plasmonics is
presented. Among the varieties of state-of-the-art technologies on this intensively-studied …

Nanoscale near-infrared optical amplification is important but remains a challenge to
achieve. Here we report a unique design of silicon and erbium silicate core-shell nanowires …

We fabricate a series of square-lattice subwavelength circular, rectangular, and trapezoidal
air-hole arrays drilled in opaque gold thin films and measured the transmission spectra of …

Light transmitting through a subwavelength slit on an ordinary metal plate is diffracted to all
directions but if the exit plane of the slit is patterned with periodical nanostructures, the …

A visible negative-index metamaterial was fabricated by adopting a template-assisted and
self-assembled electrochemical deposition method. Originating from the inherent …

This work reports on the formation of Au nanoclusters and on their evolution in nanoring
structures on indium-tin-oxide surface by sputtering deposition and annealing processes …

The coupling of light to collective oscillation of electrons on the metal surface allows the
creation of surface plasmon‐polariton wave. This surface wave is of central interest in the …

Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) is achievable for transverse-magnetic polarization
in one-dimensional metallic gratings with very narrow slits due to the excitation of coupled …

A gold film with subwavelength nanoholes on a glass substrate was fabricated through
electron beam lithography and its extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) was …
