The evaluation of distances as small as few nanometers using optical waves Is a very challenging task that can pave the way for the development of new applications in biotechnology and nanotechnology. In this article, we propose a new measurement method...

Scientists have high hopes that the emerging field of plasmonics can improve technologies such as photovoltaics, LEDs, and other optoelectronics. It’s a natural fit: Plasmonics exploits the oscillations in the density of electrons that are generated...

This seminar reviews ongoing experimental and theoretical efforts to explore the plasmonic response in metallic nanoparticles, where nanometric dimensions are expected to promote a nonlocal plasmonic response beyond that of the usual classical electrodynamics...

27.05.16 - EPFL fared well in the competition for European Research Council (ERC) grants in 2014 and 2015 within the Horizon 2020 framework, with 11 researchers winning an Advanced Grant. That translates into 2.5 million euros over five years for each...

Project Reference: NGCM-0073 Recent advances in nanofabrication have enabled rapid progress in the field of nanophotonics and plasmonics, providing unprecedented control over light propagation and promising applications in information processing and...
