Thin film solar cells are one of the important candidates utilized to reduce the cost of
photovoltaic production by minimizing the usage of active materials. However, low light …

Optoplasmonic whispering‐gallery‐mode (WGM) microcavities, consisting of plasmonic
nanostructures and optical microcavities, provide excellent platforms for exploring …

Conventional surface plasmons have a wave vector exceeding that of light in vacuum, and
therefore cannot be directly excited by light that is simply incident on the surface. However …

For thin-film solar cells, light absorption is usually proportional to the film thickness.
However, if freely propagating sunlight can be transformed into a guided mode,[1] the optical …

We report on the first experimental observation of Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPPs) formed
at the interface between a metal and a dielectric Bragg reflector (DBR). In contrast to …

Palladium and platinum are important catalytic metals, and it would be highly advantageous
to be able to use surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to study reactive species …

Metallic nanoscale voids (“anti-nanoparticles”) are shown to possess radically different
plasmon modes to metal nanoparticles. Comparing new boundary element calculations for …

Metallic nanostructures with their geometry-dependent optical resonances are a topic of
intense current interest due to their ability to manipulate light in ways not possible with …

Recently, materials with vanishingly small permittivity, known as epsilon‐near‐zero (ENZ)
media, emerged as promising candidates to achieve nonlinear optical effects of …

Resonant dielectric structures are a promising platform for addressing the key challenge of
