Towards a full characterization of a plasmonic nanostructure with a fluorescent near-field probe
Valentina Krachmalnicoff, Da Cao, Alexandre Cazé +6
We report on the experimental and theoretical study of the spatial fluctuations of the local density of states (EM-LDOS) and of the fluorescence intensity in the near-field of a go…
Radiative and non-radiative local density of states on disordered plasmonic films
A. Cazé, R. Pierrat, R. Carminati
We present numerical calculations of the Local Density of Optical States (LDOS) in the near field of disordered plasmonic films. The calculations are based on an integral volume me…
Time domain radiation and absorption by subwavelength sources
E. Bossy, R. Carminati
Radiation by elementary sources is a basic problem in wave physics. We show that the time-domain energy flux radiated from electromagnetic and acoustic subwalength sources exhibits…
Fluctuations of the local density of states probe localized surface plasmons on disordered metal films
V. Krachmalnicoff, E. Castanié, Y. De Wilde +1
We measure the statistical distribution of the local density of optical states (LDOS) on disordered semi-continuous metal films. We show that LDOS fluctuations exhibit a maximum in…
Towards a random laser with cold atoms
William Guerin, Nicolas Mercadier, Franck Michaud +7
Atoms can scatter light and they can also amplify it by stimulated emission. From this simple starting point, we examine the possibility of realizing a random laser in a cloud of l…
