Brownian Motion of Graphene
O. M. Marago, F. Bonaccorso, R. Saija +9
We study the Brownian motion (BM) of optically trapped graphene flakes. These orient orthogonal to the light polarization, due to the optical constants anisotropy. We explain the f…

Nanopolaritons: Vacuum Rabi splitting with a single quantum dot in the center of a dimer nanoantenna
S. Savasta, R. Saja, A. Ridolfo +3
The demonstration of enhanced spontaneous emission of nanoscaled optical emitters near metallic nanoparticles and the recent realization of a nanolaser based on surface plasmon amp…

Rotational dynamics of optically trapped polymeric nanofibers
Antonio Alvaro Ranha Neves, Andrea Camposeo, Stefano Pagliara +7
The optical trapping of polymeric nanofibers and the characterization of the rotational dynamics are reported. A strategy to apply a torque to a polymer nanofiber, by tilting the t…
