The field of photonics comprehends the generation, manipulation and detection of light (photons). Over the past decades, it has underpinned many of the technological advances upon which we rely on a ...
In recent times, metallic nanoparticle plasmonics coupled with applications towards biosensing has gathered momentum to the point where commercial R&D are investing large resources in developing the ...
Since the pioneering work of Fujishima and Honda on titanium dioxide, TiO2, for the electrochemical photolysis of water under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, semiconductor-based photocatalysis and ...
The efficient interaction of photons with single quantum emitters like nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres is essential for the elaboration of future integrated quantum optical devices. A promising strategy ...
Nanotechnology was named one of the key enabling technologies by the European Commission and its tremendous impact was envisioned early by 20th century physicist R.Feynman in his now oft-quoted talk ...
Optical trapping and manipulation have emerged as powerful tools to investigate single microscopic objects in a controlled environment. Using the momentum carried by light, forces can be exerted to ...
Point-of-care (POC) devices are compact, mobile and fast detection platforms expected to advance early diagnosis, treatment monitoring and personalized healthcare, and revolutionize today’s healthcare ...
In the last decades, optics has become central in many applications in modern society. Nano-optics, which studies the behavior of light at the nanoscale, holds promise to do the same. However, when using ...
El control dinámico y determinístico de la luz en una escala espacial por debajo de la longitud de onda es un requisito clave para ampliar los conceptos y las funcionalidades de la macro-óptica hasta ...
Levitodynamics is a fast growing field that studies the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoobjects, fuelled by both fundamental physics questions and technological applications. Due to the ...
