Joachim R. Krenn,Alain Dereux,Jean-Claude Weeber,Eric Bourillot,Yvon Lacroute,J. P. Goudonnet,Gerburg Schider,W. Gotschy,Alfred Leitner,Franz R. Aussenegg,Christian Girard +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental observation of near-field optical effects close to Au nanoparticles using a photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) allowed an unprecedented direct comparison with theoretical computations of the optical near field intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel and selective trapping in a patterned plasmonic landscape
TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmons (SP) at metal/dielectric interfaces are used to trap single dielectric beads under non-focused illumination with considerably reduced laser intensity compared with conventional optical tweezers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat generation in plasmonic nanostructures: Influence of morphology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the heat generation in gold nanoparticles when illuminated at their plasmonic resonance using the Green's dyadic method and showed that a wide range of morphologies can be used to design optimized plasmoric nanoheaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
One‐Dimensional Plasmon Coupling by Facile Self‐Assembly of Gold Nanoparticles into Branched Chain Networks
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-field optics theories
Christian Girard,Alain Dereux +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of near-field optics theory is reviewed and the main results of the application of various practical schemes which all rely on a numerical procedure are discussed from the point of view of their ability to assess evanescent electromagnetic waves.
