Plasmonics: manipulating light at the nanoscale

by

Plasmonics is presented as a revolution in the field of nano-optics. This discipline explores the interactions between light and metallic materials at the nanoscale, where the usual properties of light are disrupted by a phenomenon called plasmonic resonance. At the heart of this technological emergence lies the ability to confine and manipulate light well beyond … Read more

Metamaterials: controlling light in a way that is impossible in nature

by

In recent years, the field of metamaterials has revolutionized our understanding and ability to manipulate light in ways that nature itself does not offer. Unlike traditional materials, these artificial composites are designed to possess unprecedented optical properties, thus paving the way for advanced technologies in nano-optics and photonics. Thanks to carefully architected periodic structures, it … Read more
