Light microscopy with doughnut modes: a concept to detect, characterize, and manipulate individual nanoobjects

T Züchner, AV Failla, AJ Meixner - … Chemie International Edition, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Higher order laser modes, mainly called doughnut modes (DMs) have use in many different
branches of research, such as, bio‐imaging, material science, single‐molecule microscopy …

Fano resonances in plasmonic nanoparticle aggregates

NA Mirin, K Bao, P Nordlander - The Journal of Physical Chemistry …, 2009 - ACS Publications
We investigate the plasmonic properties of a symmetric silver sphere septamer and show
that the extinction spectrum exhibits a narrow Fano resonance. Using the plasmon …

Mechanically tunable nanogap antennas: single‐structure effects and multi‐structure applications

F Laible, A Horneber, M Fleischer - Advanced Optical Materials, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
By mechanically changing the width of a nanometer gap between two optical antennas, the
coupling condition for the antennas can be seamlessly modified. This leads to a shift in the …

Resonant antenna probes for tip-enhanced infrared near-field microscopy

F Huth, A Chuvilin, M Schnell, I Amenabar… - Nano …, 2013 - ACS Publications
We report the development of infrared-resonant antenna probes for tip-enhanced optical
microscopy. We employ focused-ion-beam machining to fabricate high-aspect ratio gold …
