  2. 11. Thermoplasmonic Effects in Microfluidic Systems

    Author : Steven Jones; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermometry; thermoplasmonic bubbles; thermoplasmonics; plasmonics; thermophoresis;

    Abstract : The field of plasmonics has enabled a plethora of scientific achievements over the past few decades. Such advances have been the result of the increased light-matter interaction that occurs over nanoscale dimensions facilitated by the localized plasmonic resonances supported by noble metal nanoparticles.

  4. 12. Nanoparticle plasmonics for solar cell applications

    Author : Viktoria Gusak; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; titanium dioxide.; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance; mesoporous material; Plasmonic nanoparticle; amorphous hydrogenated Silicon; solar cell; Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell; diffusion;

    Abstract : The energy demand of society increases rapidly, while the main source of today’s energy, the fossil fuels, eventually will be depleted and also poses environmental and climate hazards (though the global warming). Therefore there is a need for alternative, renewable energy sources, and solar photovoltaics (solar cells) will play an important role as one of them. READ MORE

  5. 13. Development and Application of Single-Ended Picosecond Laser Diagnostics

    Author : Billy Kaldvee; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Raman Scattering; Temporal Filtering; Picosecond Laser Diagnostics; Rayleigh Scattering; Laser-spectroscopy; DIAL; Laser Combustion Diagnostics; Lidar; Laser-induced Fluorescence; Laser-induced Incandescence; Fysicumarkivet A:2012:Kaldvee;

    Abstract : Light detection and ranging (lidar), a method for nonintrusive, single-ended, and range resolved measurements, has been developed and applied for combustion related diagnostics. Employing picosecond laser pulse durations and detectors providing temporal resolution on the order of picoseconds, lidar has been applied successfully for both quantitative temperature- and species concentration measurements, obtaining an ultimate range resolution of 0.

  6. 14. Plasmonics with a Twist: from Single Particles to Metasurfaces

    Author : Robin Ogier; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; colloidal lithography; localized surface plasmons; circularly polarized light; metsurfaces; nanofabrication; chirality; optical trapping;

    Abstract : Nanophotonics deals with how electromagnetic fields can be confined and squeezed to orders of dimensions below the light wavelength. Plasmonics, one of the fields of nanophotonics, study collective free electron oscillations driven by light in metallic nanostructures and interfaces. READ MORE

  7. 15. Structural Information Content of the Optical Field

    Author : Per Martinsson; Ari Friberg; Karl-Heinz Brenner; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Photonics; Fotonik;

    Abstract :  The communication modes are a mathematical technique for the description of structural information in optical fields. These modes are orthogonal, optimally  connected functions characteristic of the optical system. Mathematically they are obtained by the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the operator that represents the field propagation. READ MORE
