Fourier Plane Tomographic Spectroscopy Reveals Orientation-Dependent Multipolar Plasmon Modes in Micrometer-Scale Janus Particles

Felix H. Patzschke, Frank Cichos

Plasmonic Janus particles, comprising dielectric cores with thin metallic caps, exhibit complex optical properties due to their asymmetric structure. Despite applications in active…

The physics of the photothermal detection of single absorbing nano-objects: A review

Markus Selmke, Frank Cichos

The literature on the theory of the photothermal imaging of single nano objects is reviewed. Several models have been devised to describe the signals magnitude, phase and shape in…

Photonic Rutherford Scattering: A Classical and Quantum Mechanical Analogy in Ray- and Wave-Optics

Markus Selmke, Frank Cichos

Using Fermat's least optical path principle the family of ray-trajectories through a special but common type of a gradient refractive index lens, n(r)=n_0+Δn R/r, is solved analyti…
