Recent years have seen a growing interest in using metal nanostructures to control
temperature on the nanoscale. Under illumination at its plasmonic resonance, a metal …

The newly emerging field of wave front sha** in complex media has recently seen
enormous progress. The driving force behind these advances has been the experimental …

MNPBEM is a Matlab toolbox for the simulation of metallic nanoparticles (MNP), using a
boundary element method (BEM) approach. The main purpose of the toolbox is to solve …

The rapid emergence of nanoplasmonics as a novel technology has been driven by recent
progress in the fabrication, characterization, and understanding of metal‐nanoparticle …

The extraordinary sensitivity of plasmonic sensors is well-known in the optics and photonics
community. These sensors exploit simultaneously the enhancement and the localization of …

Using the Green's dyadic method, we investigated numerically the heat generation in gold
nanoparticles when illuminated at their plasmonic resonance. Two kinds of structures are …

Within the MNPBEM toolbox, developed for the simulation of plasmonic nanoparticles using
a boundary element method approach, we show how to include substrate and layer …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

The development of near-field optics theory is reviewed. We first recall that near-field optics
is not limited to near-field microscopy. Broadly speaking, it concerns phenomena involving …

Nanoscale photonic systems involve a broad variety of light–matter interaction regimes
beyond the diffraction limit and have opened the path for a variety of application …
