Role of plasma waves in rescattering processes in intense laser fields
V. V. Strelkov, S. A. Bondarenko, I. V. Smetanin
Rescattering of the photoelectron at its parent ion underlie a number of phenomena in intense laser field interaction with matter, such as high harmonic generation, attosecond puls…
Effect of Tamm surface states on hot electron generation and Landau damping in nanostructures metal-semiconductor
Alexander V. Uskov, Igor V. Smetanin, Igor E. Protsenko +2
The hot electron generation in plasmonic nanoparticles is the key to efficient plasmonic photocatalysis. In the paper, we study theoretically for the first time the effect of Tamm…
Landau damping in hybrid plasmonics
Alexander V. Uskov, Jacob B. Khurgin, Igor V. Smetanin +2
Landau Damping (LD) mechanism of the Localized Surface Plasmon (LSP) decay is studied for the hybrid nanoplasmonic (metal core/dielectric shell) structures. It is shown that LD in…
Electrostatic control over optically-pumped hot electrons in optical gap antennas
Adrian Agreda, Sviatlana Viarbitskaya, Igor V. Smetanin +3
We investigate the influence of a static electric field on the incoherent nonlinear response of an unloaded electrically-contacted nanoscale optical gap antenna. Upon excitation by…
Effect of quantized conductivity on the anomalous photon emission radiated from atomic-size point contacts
Mickaël Buret, Igor V. Smetanin, Alexander V. Uskov +2
We observe anomalous visible to near-infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted from electrically driven atomic-size point contacts. We show that the number of photons released str…
Biased Nanoscale Contact as Active Element for Electrically Driven Plasmonic Nanoantenna
Alexander V. Uskov, Jacob B. Khurgin, Mickael Buret +3
Electrically-driven optical antennas can serve as compact sources of electromagnetic radiation operating at optical frequencies. In the most widely explored configurations, the rad…
Excitation of plasmonic nanoantennas with nonresonant and resonant electron tunnelling
Alexander V. Uskov, Jacob B. Khurgin, Igor E. Protsenko +2
A rigorous theory of photon emission accompanied inelastic tunnelling inside the gap of plasmonic nanoantennas has been developed. The disappointingly low efficiency of the electri…
Spontaneous hot-electron light emission from electron-fed optical antennas
Mickael Buret, Alexander V. Uskov, Jean Dellinger +7
Nanoscale electronics and photonics are among the most promising research areas providing functional nano-components for data transfer and signal processing. By adopting metal-base…
Transition absorption as a mechanism of surface photoelectron emission from metals
Alexander V. Uskov, Igor V. Smetanin, Igor E. Protsenko +3
Transition absorption of electromagnetic field energy by an electron passing through a boundary between two media with different dielectric permittivities is considered both classi…
Triggering and guiding electric discharge by a train of UV picosecond pulses combined with a long UV pulse
A. A. Ionin, S. I. Kudryashov, A. O. Levchenko +6
Non-self-sustained electric discharge and electric breakdown were triggered and guided by a train of picosecond UV pulses overlapped with a long free-running UV pulse of a hybrid T…
Enhanced longitudinal mode spacing in blue-violet InGaN semiconductor laser
Igor V. Smetanin, Peter P. Vasil'ev
A novel explanation of observed enhanced longitudinal mode spacing in InGaN semiconductor lasers has been proposed. It has been demonstrated that e-h plasma oscillations, which can…
Theory of the ultrafast mode-locked GaN lasers in a large-signal regime
Igor V. Smetanin, Peter P. Vasil'ev, Dmitri L. Boiko
Analytical theory of the high-power passively mode-locked laser with a slow absorber is developed. In distinguishing from previous treatment, our model is valid at pulse energies w…
