Nanoscale antennas are optical devices that can facilitate the localization and transfer of
electromagnetic (EM) energy at the nanometer length scale. In this review, we discuss …

This paper reports that arrays of three-dimensional (3D), bowtie-shaped Au nanoparticle
dimers can exhibit extremely high nonlinear absorption. Near-field interactions across the …

It is shown that the local field in metal spherical particles with a dielectric core in an external
varying electric field has two maxima at two different frequencies. The second maximum …

Transmission of electromagnetic fields through (dielectric/metallic) n superlattices, for
frequencies below the plasma frequency ω p, is a subtle and important topic that is reviewed …

In this paper it is shown that the enhancement factor of the local electric field in metal
covered ellipsoidal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host matrix has two maxima at …

We have fabricated a CdS-coated Ag nanoparticle using the reverse micelle method and
observed the nonlinear optical response of the scattered light intensity caused by an …

The enhanced transmission spectra governed by the assemble of the gold nanoparticles
and the polarization of incident light are investigated. Different arrangements of …

The resonance wavelengths, quality factors, and electromagnetic field profiles of
multilayered metal plasmonic nanospheres are presented. Quantitative results are obtained …

Enhancing the local electric field within the metal nonlinear optical effect. The differences in
