We review the properties of the surface waves that are scattered by two-dimensional sub-λ
indentations on metallic surfaces. We show that two distinct waves are involved, a surface …

We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally the physical mechanism that
underlies extraordinary acoustic transmission and collimation of sound through a one …

Laser-induced self-organization of periodic nanostructures on highly absorbing materials is
widely understood to be due to interference between laser and surface plasmon polaritons …

Using coupled electromagnetic and hydrodynamic calculations, we elucidate theoretically
the topographic transition from a random metallic surface to a periodic sub-wavelength …

We investigate the mechanisms involved in the funneling of optical energy into
subwavelength grooves etched on a metallic surface. The key phenomenon is unveiled …

As single-photon imaging becomes progressively more commonplace in sensing
applications such as low-light-level imaging, three-dimensional profiling, and fluorescence …

The ever-increasing power of computers and the development of new optimization
methodologies have enabled the ability to design complex aperiodic devices, which can …

Surface plasmon polaritons are electromagnetic waves coupled to collective electron
oscillations propagating along metal-dielectric interfaces, exhibiting a bosonic character …

In this study, we report the formation of laser-induced periodic surface nanometric concentric
ring structures on silicon surfaces through single-spot irradiation with orthogonally polarized …

We report on a self-organized process initiated on a potassium-tungsten-tellurite glass
surface under repetitive femtosecond laser irradiation in a regime where cumulative effects …
