In this review we consider the development of optical near-field imaging and nanostructuring
by means of laser ablation since its early stages around the turn of the century. The …

This paper reports the fabrication of highly stable semi-hollow gold-silver nanostars
(hAuAgNSts). Galvanic replacement between silver nanostars (AgNSts) and chloroauric …

Active targets implanted with core-shell-composition (CS) and nanorod-shaped (NR)
plasmonic nanoresonators and doped with dyes were designed to ensure uniform energy …

Plasmonic nanoresonators of core–shell composition and nanorod shape were optimized to
tune their absorption cross-section maximum to the central wavelength of a short laser …

Abstract Recently NAno-Plasmonic, Laser Inertial Fusion Experiments (NAPLIFE) were
proposed, as an improved way to achieve laser driven fusion. The improvement is the …

A laser pulse im**ing on the surface of an optical component can interact with particles,
such as contamination debris, to produce a scattered electric field, which, either by itself or …

This review considers the fundamental dynamical processes of metal nanoparticles during
and after the impact of a femtosecond laser pulse on a nanoparticle, including the …

In this paper, the near-field lightwave characteristics of an arrayed silicon nano-cone-tip
optical antenna (NOA) covered by a common metal film, which can be viewed as a featured …
