XXXIX RSEF Physics Biennial
Plasmonic and Nanophotonics Gordon Research Conference
Last week Javier Aizpurua was chair of the Plasmonic and Nanophotonics Gordon Research Conference in Newry, Maine, USA (https://www.grc.org/plasmonics-and-nanophotonics-conference/2024/). Several group members contributed to the conference. Ruben Esteban gave an invited talk about “Light from Single Quantum Emitters and Collective … Continue reading

Aurelian joins the group as a postdoctoral researcher. He just defended his PhD thesis at the Université Paris-Saclay in France, during which he developed new theoretical methods to model light emission by ensembles of thermalized emitters in a resonator. Welcome … Continue reading
Our group has recently published a paper on the giant optomechanical spring effect achieved in nanocavities
Our group has recently published a paper on the giant optomechanical spring effect in plasmonic nano- and picocavities probed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The extreme confinement provided by plasmonic nano- and pico-cavities enhances the optomechanical coupling to access a very … Continue reading
