Engineering Nanophotonic Modes via the Radiation Continuum

Francesco Pisani, Baptiste Fix, Thomas Krieguer +5

We demonstrate, experimentally and theoretically, a universal mechanism for combining nanophotonic modes relying on radiative-loss-mediated couplings. For the case of two modes thi…

Three-dimensional Meta-atoms for High Confinement of Mid-IR Radiation

Francesco Pisani, Usama Iqbal, Laure Tailpied +3

The ability to confine photons into structures with highly sub-wavelength volumes is extremely interesting for many applications such as sensing, nonlinear optics, and strong light…

Cryptographic Strain-Dependent Light Pattern Generators

Francesca D'Elia, Francesco Pisani, Alessandro Tredicucci +2

Refractive freeform components are becoming increasingly relevant for generating controlled patterns of light, because of their capability to spatially-modulate optical signals wit…

Ultrashort high energy electron bunches from tunable surface plasma waves driven with laser wavefront rotation

S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, F. Pisani +5

We propose to use ultra-high intensity laser pulses with wavefront rotation (WFR) to produce short, ultra-intense surface plasma waves (SPW) on grating targets for electron acceler…

Extreme high field plasmonics: electron acceleration and XUV harmonic generation from ultrashort surface plasmons

A. Macchi, G. Cantono, L. Fedeli +2

Experiments on the excitation of propagating surface plasmons (SPs) by ultrashort, high intensity laser interaction with "grating" targets are reviewed. At intensities exceeding $1…

Few-cycle Surface Plasmon Polariton Generation by Rotating Wavefront Pulses

Francesco Pisani, Luca Fedeli, Andrea Macchi

A concept for the efficient generation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with a duration of very few cycles is presented. The scheme is based on grating coupling and laser pulse…
