The absorption of light by plasmonic nanostructures and their associated temperature
increase are exquisitely sensitive to the shape and composition of the structure and to the …

Photothermal processes in plasmonic nanoparticles have been at the basis of a decade of
burgeoning activities that set the field of thermoplasmonics. Here, we present an overview of …

The development of efficient nanoscale photon absorbers, such as plasmonic or high-index
dielectric nanostructures, allows the remotely controlled release of heat on the nanoscale …

The advent of spatial control over the phase and amplitude of light waves has profoundly
transformed photonics, enabling major advances in fields from imaging and information …

Plasmonic absorption of light can lead to significant local heating in metallic nanostructures,

Quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QLSI) is a quantitative phase imaging technique
based on the use of a diffraction grating placed in front of a camera. This grating creates a …

We propose and implement a broadband, compact, and low-cost wavefront sensing scheme
by simply placing a thin diffuser in the close vicinity of a camera. The local wavefront …

This paper introduces a procedure aimed to quantitatively measure the optical properties of
nanoparticles, namely the complex polarizability and the extinction, scattering, and …

Conspectus Interest in nanoparticles has vigorously increased over the last 20 years as
more and more studies show how their use can potentially revolutionize science and …

In this article, we present a comprehensive investigation of the photothermal properties of
plasmonic nanowire networks. We measure the local steady-state temperature increase …
