We reveal a mechanism to enhance particle-matter interactions by exploiting the pseudo-
Brewster effect of gain materials, presenting an enhancement of at least four orders of …

Small lasers have dimensions or modes sizes close to or smaller than the wavelength of
emitted light. In recent years there has been significant progress towards reducing the size …

Amplifiers and lasers based on surface plasmon–polaritons (SPPs) have been studied for
around three decades. Research in this area has experienced particularly significant growth …

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

Measuring light's state of polarization is an inherently difficult problem since the phase
information between orthogonal polarization states is typically lost in the detection process …
