We investigate plasmon resonances in gold nanoparticles to enhance the quantum yield of upconverting materials. For this purpose, we use a rate equation model that describes the upconversion of trivalent erbium based upconverters. Changes…
The rate of spontaneous emission is known to depend on the environment of a light source, and the enhancement of one-photon emission in a resonant cavity is known as the Purcell effect. Here we develop a theory of spontaneous two-photon…
We provide a physical explanation for enhancement of the low-energy electron production by sensitizing nanoparticles due to irradiation by fast ions. It is demonstrated that a significant increase in the number of emitted electrons arises…
In metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF), the localized surface plasmon resonances of metallic nanostructures amplify the absorption of excitation light and assist in radiating the consequent fluorescence of nearby molecules to the far-field.…
It was predicted long ago that ultra-thin metallic films must exhibit unusual optical properties for radiation frequencies from rf to infrared domain. A film would remain highly reflective even when it is orders of magnitude thinner than a…
The cold field electron emission from metallic nanowall array is investigated theoretically. Via conformal mapping method, analytic formulas of tunneling barrier, edge field enhancement factor, transmission coefficient, and area emission…
The pulsed photothermal phenomenon due to optically absorbed energy, result from non-radiative decay mechanisms, which in nature, these imply the temporal change in the local free energy and thus a temporary change in the local temperature.…
It is well known that plasmons in bulk metals cannot be excited by direct photoabsorption, that is, by coupling of volume plasmons to light. Here we demonstrate that the situation in nanoclusters of the same metals is entirely different. We…
We demonstrate that the emission of light by fluorescent molecules in the proximity of periodic arrays of nanoantennas or plasmonic crystals can be strongly modified when the arrays are covered by a dielectric film. The coupling between…
Efficient manipulation and long distance transport of single-photons is a key component in nanoscale quantum optics. In this letter, we study the emission properties of an individual light emitter placed into a nanofiber and coupled to a…
Plasmons can be excited during photoemission and produce spectral photoelectron features that yield information on the nanoscale optical response of the probed materials. However, these so-called plasmon satellites have so far been observed…
Theory of electron emission by metallic photocathodes under the exposure of long wavelength lasers will be studied. Energy of photons in long wavelength lasers is less than the work function of the photocathode material, and can only emit…
Plasmon excitations in metallic nanostructures can decay directly into dynamic electron-hole pairs (EHPs), exploitable for photocurrent generation. This approach has extensively been employed to develop nanoplasmonic light-sensing devices…
Plasmon resonance in metals represents the collective oscillation of the free electron gas density and enables enhanced light-matter interactions in nanoscale dimensions. Traditionally, the classical Drude model describes the plasmonic…
The Vavilov-Cerenkov phenomenon - light emission during the motion of a fast electron in a dense medium is observable in homogeneous media as well as in inhomogeneous media like photonic crystals. So long as a space (homogeneous or…
Nonlinear photoluminescence (N-PL) is a broadband photon emission arising from non-equilibrium electron distribution generated at the surface of metallic nanostructures by an ultrafast pulsed laser illumination. N-PL is sensitive to surface…
Investigating nanoplasmonics using time-dependent approaches permits shedding light on the dynamic optical properties of plasmonic structures, which are intrinsically connected with their potential applications in photochemistry and…
This paper is devoted to the modelization of the photoacoustic effect generated by the electromagnetic heating of metallic nanoparticles embedded in a biological tissue. We first derive an asymptotic models for the plasmonic resonances and…
We present an analytical model for plasmonic enhancement of metal photoluminescence (MPL) in metal nanostructures with characteristic size below the diffraction limit. In such systems, the primary mechanism of MPL enhancement is excitation…
Surface plasmon enhanced processes and hot-carrier dynamics in plasmonic nanostructures are of great fundamental interest to reveal light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Using plasmonic tunnel junctions as a platform supporting both…
