TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a broad overview of modern plasmonics, including quantum plasmons based on the quantum-mechanical properties of both the underlying materials and the plasons themselves (such as their quantum generator, spaser, etc.).

TL;DR: Using full field electromagnetic simulations, the authors designed metasurfaces consisting of high index dielectric disks that provide large-volume, uniform-sign enhancements in both the optical density of chirality, C (the figure of merit for sensing and spectroscopy), and Kuhn's dissymmetry factor, g (the notion of separation).

TL;DR: This Account highlights the group's effort to leverage nanoscale chiral light-matter interactions to detect, characterize, and separate enantiomers, potentially down to the single molecule level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) spectroscopy to measure indirectly the differential absorption of circularly polarized light by a monolayer of optically active molecules functionalized to silicon nanodisk arrays.

TL;DR: A new photon upconversion technique mediated by hot carriers in plasmonic nanostructures is experimentally demonstrate, which scales linearly with illumination power and enables both geometry- and polarization-based tunability.
