The role of focused laser plasmonics in shaping SERS spectra of molecules on nanostructured surfaces

Fran Nekvapil, Cosmin Farcău

The dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra on the precise axial position of the laser focus relative to a solid nanostructured substrate has received little…

Linear Arrays of Metal-Coated Microspheres: a Polarization-Sensitive Hybrid Colloidal Plasmonic-Photonic Crystal

Cosmin Farcău

Colloidal plasmonic-photonic crystals represent a class of hybrid materials composed of a dielectric colloidal spheres photonic lattice and a metal plasmonic film. In this work, th…

Metal-coated microsphere monolayers as surface plasmon resonance sensors operating in both transmission and reflection modes

Cosmin Farcău

Metal-coated microsphere monolayers (MCM) are a class of plasmonic crystals consisting of noble metal films over arrays of self-assembled colloidal microspheres. Despite their ease…

The effect of plasma-core induced self-guiding on phase matching of high-order harmonic generation in gases

Balázs Major, Katalin Kovács, Valer Tosa +3

In this work we numerically study a self-guiding process in which ionization plays a dominant role and analyze its effect on high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases. Although…

Influence of generalized focusing of few-cycle Gaussian pulses in attosecond pulse generation

Ebrahim Karimi, Carlo Altucci, Valer Tosa +2

In contrast to the case of quasi-monochromatic waves, a focused optical pulse in the few-cycle limit may exhibit two independent curved wavefronts, associated with phase and group…
