This talk will overview the interplay between optics, plasmonics, and excitonics for systems that consist of arrays of gold, silver or aluminum nanoparticles in 1D, 2D and 3D. This will begin with a review of the use of classical electromagnetic theory to describe the optical properties of plasmonic particles of arbitrary shape, size and arrange...

Optical invisibility cloaks can be designed by mapping spatial transformations onto material parameters or onto geometrical boundaries. In this presentation, we discuss the regime of ballistic light propagation (following the Maxwell equations of continua) and the regime of diffuse light propagation (following Fick's diffusion equation). In both...

We develop a new approach to negative index materials andsubwavelength imaging in the far field based onstrong anisotropy of the dielectric response. In contrast toconventional negative refraction systems, our method does not rely onmagnetic resonance and does not require periodic patterning--leadingto lower losses and high tolerance to fabricat...

Quantum tunneling corresponds to the transmission of a particle with non-negligible probability through a barrier that a classical particle could not pass. This linear concept has previously been generalized to nonlinear waves and solitons incident upon an externally imposed barrier. Here, the concept of hydrodynamic tunneling is introduced wher...
