Plasmonic Nanophotonics: Coupling Light to Nanostructure via Plasmons
Online Presentations | 03 Oct 2005 | Contributor(s): Vladimir M. Shalaev | 5626 users
The photon is the ultimate unit of information because it packages data in a signal of zero mass and has unmatched speed. The power of light is driving the photonicrevolution, and information technologies, which were formerly entirely electronic, are increasingly enlisting light to communicate...

Random Lasers
Online Presentations | 19 May 2006 | Contributor(s): Mikhail A. Noginov | 467 users
Random lasers are the simplest sources of stimulated emission without cavity, with the feedback provided by scattering in a gain medium. First proposed in the late 60’s, random lasers have grown to a large research field. This lecture reviews the state of the art of random lasers, provides...

Nano Scale Optics with Nearfield Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM)
Online Presentations | 16 Nov 2006 | Contributor(s): Reuben Bakker, Vladimir M. Shalaev | 5982 users
NearfieldScanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM )is a relatively new technology that defeats the diffraction limit for optical measurements by utilizing the near field portion of electromagnetism to window down to ~ 10 nm spatial resolution. NSOM instrumentation has progressively developed over the...

Some Remarks to Electrodynamics of Materials with Negative Refraction
Online Presentations | 26 Jun 2007 | Contributor(s): Victor G. Veselago | 1117 users
The negative refraction coefficient n < 0 can be introduced for isotropic materials with anti-parallel directions of phase and group velocities. If some of material can be described by negative n it will have also negative values of both (electrical ε and magnetic μ) permeabilities. In materials...
