Hybrid nanoparticles combining plasmonic and catalytic components have recently gained
interest for their potential use in sunlight‐to‐chemical energy conversion. However, a deep …

The T-matrix method is one of the most powerful and widely used theoretical techniques for
the computation of electromagnetic scattering by single and composite particles, discrete …

Mie resonances in dielectric particles can increase the local optical density of states (LDOS)
associated with either electric or magnetic transition rates in nearby quantum emitters …

The dependent scattering effect (DSE), which arises from the wave nature of
electromagnetic radiation, is a critical mechanism affecting the radiative properties of …

We used molecular-specific gold nanoparticles to monitor epidermal growth factor receptors
(EGFR) in live A431 cells over time. Dark-field hyperspectral imaging, electron microscopy …

Dielectric microspheres are shown to be capable of confining light in a three-dimensional
region of subwavelength dimensions when they are illuminated by tightly focused Gaussian …

Since the 80's, specialists of gratings can rely on very powerful grating softwares [1-6].
These softwares are able to compute grating efficiencies for almost any kind of grating in any …

In this paper, new concepts for continuous 24/7 real-time monitoring of plants and insects
with miniaturized terahertz (THz) systems are described and experimentally tested. Thus, for …

Advances in plasmonic nanoparticle synthesis afford new opportunities for biosensing
applications. Here, we apply a combination of a new type of plasmonic nanomaterial …

Binding along the beam axis (which we shall call “longitudinal optical binding”) has been
observed between micron-sized oil droplets in a three dimensional optical trap in air. We …
