We investigate the spin-orbit coupling of light in three-dimensional cylindrical and tube-like whispering gallery mode resonators. We show that its origin is the transverse confinement of light in the resonator walls, even in the absence of…
Lasing at the nanometre scale promises strong light-matter interactions and ultrafast operation. Plasmonic resonances supported by metallic nanoparticles have extremely small mode volumes and high field enhancements, making them an ideal…
Self-assembled Plasmonic Nanoparticle Networks (PNN) composed of chains of 12-nm diameter crystalline gold nanoparticles exhibit a longitudinally coupled plasmon mode cen- tered at 700 nm. We have exploited this longitudinal absorption band…
Plasmonic waveguides offer the unique possibility to confine light far below the diffraction limit. Past room temperature experiments of single quantum emitters coupled to such waveguides have mainly focused on efficient channelling of the…
Structured light has emerged as an important tool to interrogate and manipulate matter at micron and sub-micron scale. One form of structured light is an optical vortex beam. The helical wavefront of these vortices carry orbital angular…
We have demonstrated a new mechanism for modulating light with light by controlling the efficiency with which light is coupled into a plasmon polariton wave. An optical fluence of 15 mJ/cm^2 in the control channel is sufficient to achieve…
The spectral response of a plasmonic nanostructure may heavily depend on the refractive index of its surroundings. The key idea of this paper is to control this response by coherent optical means, i.e. with an optically controlled…
The localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanostructures produces strongly localized and enhanced near-field light, significantly contributing to nanophotonics research and applications. Plasmon nanofocusing represents another…
The ability to modulate light at high speeds is of paramount importance for telecommunications, information processing, and medical imaging technologies. This has stimulated intense efforts to master optoelectronic switching at visible and…
We introduce a modular approach for efficiently interfacing photonic integrated circuits with deep-sub-wavelength hybrid plasmonic functionality. We demonstrate that an off-the-shelf silicon-on-insulator waveguide can be post-processed into…
Spin-orbit interactions are subwavelength phenomena which can potentially lead to numerous device related applications in nanophotonics. Here, we report Spin-Hall effect in the forward scattering of Hermite-Gaussian and Gaussian beams from…
Fabrication and optical characteristics of a spin light-emitting-diode (spin-LED) having dual spin-injection electrodes with anti-parallel magnetization configuration are reported. Alternating a current between the two electrodes using a…
The coupled light-matter modes supported by plasmonic metasurfaces can be combined with topological principles to yield subwavelength topological valley states of light. We give a systematic presentation of the topological valley states…
Mode-locking is predicted in a nanolaser cavity forming an effective photonic harmonic potential. The cavity is substantially more compact than a Fabry-Perot resonator with comparable pulsing period, which is here controlled by the…
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…
Topological insulators are candidates to open up a novel route in spin based electronics. Different to traditional ferromagnetic materials, where the carrier spin-polarization and magnetization are based on the exchange interaction, the…
We observe clear precessional motion of highly birefringent liquid crystal (LC) particles trapped in a spherically aberrated optical trap which is built around a tilted refractive index stratified medium. For input circularly polarized…
Orbital angular momentum of light has recently been recognized as a new degree of freedom to encode information in quantum communication using light pulses. Methods to extract this information include reversing the process by which such…

Plasmonic nanocavities form very robust sub-nanometer gaps between nanometallic structures and confine light in deep subwavelength volumes to enable unprecedented control on light-matter interactions. However, spherical nanoparticles…
