Techniques based on plasmonic resonance can provide label-free, signal enhanced, and
real-time sensing means for bioparticles and bioprocesses at the molecular level. With the …

We demonstrate bowtie apertures that were designed and fabricated by a lift-off process to
optically trap individual, 30 nm, silica-coated quantum dots (scQD). Simulations and …

We propose a new concept of fiber-integrated optical nano-tweezer on the basis of a single
bowtie-aperture nano-antenna (BNA) fabricated at the apex of a metal-coated SNOM tip. We …

Plasmonic apertures permit optical fields to be concentrated into sub‐wavelength regions.
This enhances the optical gradient force, enabling the precise trap** of nanomaterials …

We present an original design of anisotropic metamaterial plates exhibiting extraordinary
transmission through perfectly conductor metallic screens perforated by a subwavelength …

We present the development and study of a single bowtie nano-aperture (BNA) at the end of
a monomode optical fiber as an interface between near-fields/nano-optical objects and the …

Photonic antennas amplify and confine optical fields at the nanoscale offering excellent
perspectives for nanoimaging and nanospectroscopy. Increased resolution beyond the …

Resonance behaviors of the fundamental resonance mode of diabolo metal bar optical
antennas are investigated by using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical …

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have drawn strong interest in the past for their high
prospects in scientific, medical, and industrial applications. However, the full …

We study the plasmonic resonances of double nanoholes (DNHs) in metal films. These
apertures exhibit the usual gap-mode Fabry-Pérot resonances, where the zeroth order …
