Donut-shaped laser radiation, carrying orbital angular momentum, namely optical vortex,
was recently shown to provide vectorial mass transfer, twisting transiently molten material …

Plasmonic nanosponges are a powerful platform for various nanophotonic applications
owing to extremely high local field enhancement in metallic nanopores. The filling of the …

Diffraction patterns formed by axicons with different tip (vertex) angles are analytically and
numerically investigated. Results show that the axicon (or tapered dielectric probe) can form …

Interaction of complex-shaped light fields with specially designed plasmonic nanostructures
gives rise to various intriguing optical phenomena like nanofocusing of surface waves …

Formation dynamics of the nanojets and nanocrowns induced on the surface of the Cu
supported films of different thickness under the impact of tightly focused femtosecond pulses …

As the size of the state-of-the-art optical devices shrinks to nanoscale, the need for tools
allowing map** the local optical properties at deep sub-diffraction resolution increases …

We report on detailed experimental study of various nanoscale surface hydrodynamic
instabilities on thin Au/Pd alloy films induced by tightly focused single femtosecond pulses …

Pulsed-laser dry printing of noble-metal microrings with a tunable internal porous structure,
which can be revealed via an ion-beam etching post-procedure, was demonstrated. The …

We present morphological and compositional analysis of phase-separated Pt–Ni alloy
nanoparticles (NPs) formed by ns pulsed laser dewetting. The PtNi NPs obtained by the …

Biosensing characteristics of the laser-spalled nanotextures produced under single-pulse
irradiation of a 500-nm thick Ag film surface were assessed by measuring spontaneous …
