In undergraduate courses on classical electromagnetism, it is taught that a perfect conductor
expels the electromagnetic (EM) field, and hence its surface is not able to support the …

Electromagnetic absorbers have drawn increasing attention in many areas. A series of
plasmonic and metamaterial structures can work as efficient narrowband absorbers due to …

Surface plasmons are waves that propagate along the surface of a conductor. By altering the
structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their …

The success of fluorescence experiments requires attention to experimental details and an
understanding of the instrumentation. There are also many potential artifacts that can distort …

A review of nanoplasmonics is given. This includes fundamentals, nanolocalization of
optical energy and hot spots, ultrafast nanoplasmonics and control of the spatiotemporal …

In this article, we review recent developments in the field of surface electromagnetic wave
holography. The holography principle is used as a tool to solve an inverse engineering …

This review provides a perspective on the recent developments in the transmission of light
through subwavelength apertures in metal films. The main focus is on the phenomenon of …

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 …

The presence of tiny holes in an opaque metal film, with sizes smaller than the wavelength
of incident light, leads to a wide variety of unexpected optical properties such as strongly …

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