Description

When optical components are reduced to the nanoscale, they exhibit interesting properties that can be harnessed to create new devices. For example, imagine a block of material with thin layers of alternating materials. This creates a periodic arrangement of alternating dielectric constants, forming a "photonic crystal" that is analogous to the electronic crystals used in semiconductor devices. Photonic crystals, along with quantum dots and other devices patterned at the nanoscale, may form the basis for sensors and switches used in computers and telecommunications. More information on Nanophotonics can be found here.

  3. Atom-photon Interactions In 1D Photonic Crystals: From cQED to band-gap physics

    05 Jan 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Jonathan Hood

    We investigate opportunities that emerge from the integration of cold atoms with nanoscopic photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs). PCWs enable the light-matter interaction to be engineered for both trapping and strong atom-photon coupling, thereby opening new avenues for novel quantum transport and...

  7. Biosensing applications of Plasmon Resonance in gold nanoparticles

    out of 5 stars 

    02 Aug 2007 | | Contributor(s):: Karina Moore

    Light can be used to excite plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles. Plasmon resonance occurs on the nanoscale as the particles become excited and plasmon oscillations arise in each particle of a pair of metal nanoparticles. There is plasmon coupling between the neighboring particles as the...

    out of 5 stars 

    02 Dec 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev

    One of the most unique properties of light is that it can package information into a signal of zero mass and propagate it at the ultimate speed. It is, however, a daunting challenge to bring photonic devices to the nanometer scale because of the fundamental diffraction limit. Metamaterials can...

  12. Can Plasmonics Help Outpace Quantum Decoherence?

    out of 5 stars 

    06 Jun 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev

    We discuss an unorthodox way to overcome quantum decoherence by using plasmonics that can speed up quantum processes to the extent that they outpace and thus become immune to decoherence.

    17 Jan 2012 | | Contributor(s):: Sandra Kurko

    Changes in structural and hydrogen desorption properties of MgH2 iduced by ion irradiation have been investigated. MgH2 powder samples have been irradiated with 45 keV B3+ and 120 keV Ar8+ions, with ion fluence 1015 ions/cm2. The effects of ion irradiation are estimated by numerical calculations...
