Novel nanoplasmonic devices

Nanoplasmonics is a field of study where a multitude of optical phenomena at the nanoscale are caused by resonant surface plasmons in metal systems. The control of these resonances via nanoscale engineering offers great opportunities to realize many potential applications such as optical imaging with sub-diffraction resolution, nanolithography, detection of chemical and biological species with single molecule sensitivity and others. This project focuses on developing design and characterization tools for novel nanoplasmonic devices.
