We propose a plasmonic device consisting of a concentric ring grating acting as an efficient tool for directional launching and detection of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs). Numerical simulations and optical characterizations are used to…
We demonstrate propagation of plasmons in single crystalline silver nanostructures fabricated using a combination of a bottom-up and a top-down approach. Silver nanoplates of thickness around 65 nm and a surface area of about 100 \mu m^2…
We determine the linear optical susceptibility of a radiation pulse propagating through a mixture of a gas of atoms or molecules and a plasma. For a specific range of radiation and plasma frequencies, resonant generation of volume plasmons…
We demonstrate the realization of an electrically-driven integrated source of surface plasmon polaritons. Light-emitting individual single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistors were fabricated in a plasmonic-ready platform. The…
We study surface plasmons localized on interfaces between topologically trivial and topologically non-trivial time reversal invariant materials in three dimensions. For the interface between a metal and a topological insulator the magnetic…
We propose a simple design of all-dielectric silicon-based planar metamaterial manifested an extremely sharp resonant reflection and transmission in the wavelength of about 1550 nm due to both low dissipative losses and involving a trapped…
We review studies of superintense laser interaction with solid targets where the generation of propagating surface plasmons (or surface waves) plays a key role. These studies include the onset of plasma instabilities at the irradiated…
It is shown that a smooth metal film (or a plasma layer) can be made transparent for an electromagnetic wave when two identical subwavelength diffraction gratings are placed on both sides of the film. The electromagnetic wave transmission…
A rigorous theory of photon emission accompanied inelastic tunnelling inside the gap of plasmonic nanoantennas has been developed. The disappointingly low efficiency of the electrical excitation of surface plasmon polaritons in these…
We present a theoretical study of the dispersion relation of surface plasmon resonances of mesoscopic metal-dielectric-metal microspheres. By analyzing the solutions to Maxwell's equations, we obtain a simple geometric condition for which…
At the plasmon resonance, high Joule losses in a metal nanoparticle of a spaser result in its low Q-factor. Due to the latter, to achieve the spasing regime, in which the number of coherent plasmons exceeds the number of incoherent…
We show that plasmons in two-dimensional graphene can have net gain at terahertz frequencies. The coupling of the plasmons to interband electron-hole transitions in population inverted graphene layers can lead to plasmon amplification…
We investigate three-dimensional rolled-up metamaterials containing optically active quantum wells and metal gratings supporting surface plasmon polarition resonances. Finite-difference time-domain simulations show that by matching the…
The ability to perfectly guide surface electromagnetic waves around ultra-sharp corners without back-scattering and radiation is in great demand for various photonic and plasmonic applications. This is fundamentally difficult to realize…
A periodic arrangement of chains of gold discs shows pronounced plasmonic grating resonances. These have a clear impact on the Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)-signal from 4-methylbenzenethiol molecules which form self-assembled…
We exploit a plasmon mediated two-step momentum downconversion scheme to convert low-energy tunneling electrons into propagating photons. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along an extended gold nanowire are excited on one end…
The concept of spaser, as the coherent near-field generator, based on nanometric plasmonic resonators, has been successfully demonstrated in number of experiments. Here we have developed the theoretical framework for description of the…
We demonstrate that left-handed resonance transmission from metallic metamaterial, composed of periodically arranged double rings, can be extended to visible spectrum by introducing an active medium layer as the substrate. The severe ohmic…
The paper contains a theory of laser action in a so called SPASER, a laser with a surface plasmon. The goal of the theory development is an ascertainment of physical nature of SPASER lasers that were successfully put into action by M. A.…
We describe a technique that enables strong, coherent coupling between individual optical emitters and guided plasmon excitations in conducting nano-structures at optical frequencies. We show that under realistic conditions, optical…
