The interaction between molecular electronic transitions and electromagnetic fields can be
enlarged to the point where distinct hybrid light–matter states, polaritons, emerge. The …

Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have
become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape …

Fluorescence spectroscopy with strong emitters is a remarkable tool with ultra-high
sensitivity for detection and imaging down to the single-molecule level. Plasmon-enhanced …

Optical imaging represents one of the most essential tools in biological studies. Although
with great advances, bio-optical imaging still suffers from problems such as resolution …

Single-molecule detection has long relied on fluorescent labeling with high quantum-yield
fluorophores. Plasmon-enhanced detection circumvents the need for labeling by allowing …

A molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs)-isolated AuNP-enhanced fluorescence sensor,
AuNP@ MIPs-CdTe QDs, was developed for highly sensitive and selective detection of …

Fluorescence‐based biosensors have widely been used in the life‐sciences and biomedical
applications due to their low limit of detection and a diverse selection of fluorophores that …

Photonic metasurfaces, that is, two-dimensional arrangements of designed plasmonic or
dielectric resonant scatterers, have been established as a successful concept for controlling …

Intermixed light-matter quasi-particles—polaritons—have unique optical properties owing to
their compositional nature. These intriguing hybrid states have been extensively studied …

Single-photon nanoantennas are broadband strongly scattering nanostructures placed in
the near field of a single quantum emitter, with the goal to enhance the coupling between the …
