Plasmonic sensor based on the Ebbesen effect
P. N. Melentiev, A. S. Gritchenko, A. S. Baburin +4
We present a new method for measuring low concentrations and simultaneously small volumes of fluorescent molecules based on the use of the Ebbesen effect of the extraordinary trans…
Toward theoretically limited SPP propagation length above two hundred microns on ultra-smooth silver surface
Aleksandr S. Baburin, Aleksey S. Kalmykov, Roman V. Kirtaev +6
We demonstrate the optical medium for surface plasmon - polariton waves (SPP) propagation with ultra low losses corresponding to the theoretically limited values. The unique elemen…
Plasmonic nanolaser for intracavity spectroscopy and sensorics
P. Melentyev, A. Kalmykov, A. Gritchenko +13
We demonstrate intracavity plasmonic laser spectroscopy using a plasmonic laser created from a periodically-perforated silver film with a liquid gain medium. An active zone of the…
Optical Nanofibers for Manipulating and Probing Single-Atom Fluorescence
K. P. Nayak, P. N. Melentiev, M. Morinaga +3
We demonstrate how optical nanofibers can be used to manipulate and probe single-atom fluorescence. We show that fluorescence photons from a very small number of atoms, average ato…
