Enhanced Enantioselective Optical Trapping enabled by Longitudinal Mie Resonances in Silicon Nanodisks

Guillermo Serrera, Pablo Albella

Optical enantioseparation of nanoscale matter is fundamentally limited by the intrinsic weakness of chiroptical forces compared to the dominant achiral gradient forces and thermal…

Color Routing and Beam Steering of Single-Molecule Emission with a Spherical Silicon Nanoantenna

Maria Sanz-Paz, Nicole Siegel, Guillermo Serrera +7

Single-photon emitters radiate as electric dipoles, which limits light collection efficiency and complicates integration into flat photonic devices. Developing nanophotonic structu…

3-dimensional plasmonic nanomotors enabled by independent integration of Optical Pulling and Lateral Forces

Guillermo Serrera, Yoshito Y. Tanaka, Pablo Albella

Light-matter interactions generally involve momentum exchange between incident photons and the target object giving rise to optical forces and torques. While typically weak, they b…

Distance dependent interaction between a single emitter and a single dielectric nanoparticle using DNA origami

Nicole Siegel, María Sanz-Paz, Javier González-Colsa +8

Optical nanoantennas can manipulate light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, modifying the emission properties of nearby single photon emitters. To date, most optical antennas a…
