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 …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

Recent advances in the exploitation of localized surface plasmons (charge density
oscillations confined to metallic nanoparticles and nanostructures) in nanoscale optics and …

The design and realization of metallic nanostructures with tunable plasmon resonances has
been greatly advanced by combining a wealth of nanofabrication techniques with advances …

We review the basic physics of surface-plasmon excitations occurring at metal/dielectric
interfaces with special emphasis on the possibility of using such excitations for the …

Metallic particles and surfaces display diverse and complex optical properties. Examples
include the intense colors of noble metal colloids, surface plasmon resonance absorption by …

Long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) are optical surface waves that propagate
along a thin symmetric metal slab or stripe over an appreciable length (centimeters) …

We provide an overview of the way in which different approaches to nanostructuring metals
can lead to a wealth of interesting optical properties and functionality through manipulation …

The development of chip-scale electronics and photonics has led to remarkable data
processing and transport capabilities that permeate almost every facet of our lives …

We report on chemically prepared silver nanowires (diameters around 100 nm) sustaining
surface plasmon modes with wavelengths shortened to about half the value of the exciting …
