The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

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 …

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 …

Surface plasmon polaritons and localized surface plasmons are discussed in the context of
photonic applications. Near-field imaging of scattering, reflection, interference and …

In this paper, we demonstrate high-density nanolithography by utilizing surface plasmons
(SPs). SPs are excited on an aluminum substrate perforated with 2-D hole arrays using a …

Extensive 3-D finite-difference time-domain simulations are carried out to elucidate the
nature of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and localized surface plasmon polaritons …
