Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is an optical phenomena generated by light
when it interacts with conductive nanoparticles (NPs) that are smaller than the incident …

This review provides a perspective on the recent developments in the transmission of light
through subwavelength apertures in metal films. The main focus is on the phenomenon of …

Surface plasmons are waves that propagate along the surface of a conductor. By altering the
structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their …

A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of
a good metal. It is an intrinsically two-dimensional excitation whose electromagnetic field …

Metallic nanostructures now play an important role in many applications. In particular, for the
emerging fields of plasmonics and nanophotonics, the ability to engineer metals on …

This article reviews major micro-and nanolithography techniques and their applications from
commercial micro devices to emerging applications in nanoscale science and engineering …

This Colloquium analyzes the interaction of light with two-dimensional periodic arrays of
particles and holes. The enhanced optical transmission observed in the latter and the …

Light usually diffracts in all directions when it emerges from a subwavelength aperture,
which puts a lower limit on the size of features that can be used in photonics. This limitation …

We review in this article the influence of surface waves on the thermally excited
electromagnetic field. We study in particular the field emitted at subwavelength distances of …

All material bodies are surrounded by a fluctuating electromagnetic field because of the
thermal and quantum fluctuations of the current density inside them. Close to the surface of …
