Recent works dealt with the optical transmission on arrays of subwavelength holes perforated in a thick metallic film. We have performed simulations which quantitatively agree with experimental results and which unambiguously evidence that…
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are surface-bound waves at metal-dielectric interfaces that exhibit strong out-of-plane field confinement, a key feature for applications is nano-scale sensing and imaging. However, this advantage is offset…
Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic wave which is tightly localised beyond the diffraction limit at metallic surfaces. Recently, it is theoretically proposed that the angular momentum conversion between the SPP and…
By formally invoking the Wiener-Hopf method, we explicitly solve a one-dimensional, singular integral equation for the excitation of a slowly decaying electromagnetic wave, called surface plasmon-polariton (SPP), of small wavelength on a…
The WKB equations for dynamics of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) wavepacket are studied. The dispersion law for the SPP in the metal-dielectric heterostructure with varying thickness of a perforated dielectric layer is rigorously…
We investigate active spatial control of polariton condensates independently of the polariton-, gain-inducing excitation profile. This is achieved by introducing an extra intracavity semiconductor layer, non-resonant to the cavity mode.…
The insensitivity of photons towards external magnetic fields forms one of the hardest barriers against efficient magneto-optical control, aiming at modulating the polarization state of light. However, there is even scarcer evidence of…
Transformation optics has recently attracted extensive interest, since it provides a novel design methodology for manipulating light at will. Although transformation optics in principle embraces all forms of electromagnetic phenomena on all…
We propose the generalization of the Fourier modal method aimed at calculating localized eigenmodes of integrated optical resonators. The method is based on constructing the analytic continuation of the structure's scattering matrix and…

Modulation of the optical index by means of atomic and material resonances provides a basis for controlling light propagation in natural and artificially fabricated materials. In addition, recent advances in the tuning of spatiotemporal…
Formation of nanoscale laser-induced periodic surface structures on thin metal films (of the size of the optical penetration depth) is a yet unexplored area that is expected to open new routes for laser patterning and a wealth of exciting…
We consider scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and light by individual high-refractive-index dielectric nanoparticles (NPs) located on a metal (gold) substrate and supporting electric and magnetic dipole resonances in the…
We study the energy and momentum of the surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) excited in a symmetric 3-layer "insulator-metal-insulator" structure, which is known to support the symmetric (S) mode with the negative group velocity as well as the…
We propose a generator of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) which, unlike spasers or plasmon lasers, does not require stimulated emission in the system. Its principle of operation is based on a positive feedback which a classical…
