The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of
a good metal. It is an intrinsically two-dimensional excitation whose electromagnetic field …

The optics of correlated disordered media is a conceptually rich research topic emerging at
the interface between the physics of waves in complex media and nanophotonics. Inspired …

The application of reciprocity principles in optics has a long history that goes back to Stokes,
Lorentz, Helmholtz and others. Moreover, optical applications need to be seen in the context …

In this review we describe fundamentals of scanning near-field optical microscopy with
aperture probes. After the discussion of instrumentation and probe fabrication, aspects of …

In the past few years, new developments in structured electromagnetic materials have given
rise to negative refractive index materials which have both negative dielectric permittivity …

Fluorescence is widely used in optical devices, microscopy imaging, biology, medical
research and diagnosis. Improving fluorescence sensitivity, all the way to the limit of single …

Surface plasmon polaritons and localized surface plasmons are discussed in the context of
photonic applications. Near-field imaging of scattering, reflection, interference and …

This book describes analytical instruments widely used to characterize the nanostructured
materials. It provides information about how to assess material quality, defects, the state of …

We present a theoretical investigation of the physics involved in a recently developed
spectromicroscopy technique, called photothermal induced resonance (PTIR). With this …
