11:00 - 11:45 Room A Session 1A1-META Plenary Session I Chaired by: Raj Mittra 11:00 : Plenary talk New frontiers for nanoplasmonic cavities Stefan Maier Nanoplasmonic cavities, also known as optical nanoantennas, are efcient transducers from the far to the near eld, harvesting light to the nanoscale. This talk will touch upon a variety of new concepts, including transformation optics design, non-local effects, direct imaging of ultra-conned modes, and new design geometries for broadband spectroscopies and nonlinear optics. Coffee Break and Exhibit Inspection 11:45 - 12:15
12:15 - 13:15 Room A Session 1A2-META Photonic crystals I Chaired by: Masaya Notomi 12:15 : Keynote talk Recent progress in photonic crystals and thier applications Susumu Noda Recent progress in photonic crystals and thier applications 12:55 : Invited talk Deep-subwavelength imaging of the modal dispersion of light Riccardo Sapienza We report nanoscale mapping of the local density of states in complex photonic media, such as photonic crystal and 6
random powders, which is obtained by a new method beyond uorescence dynamics: cathodo-luminescence microscopy.
12:15 - 13:15 Room B Session 1A3-META Metamaterials and negative index materials I Chaired by: Omar Ramahi 12:15 : Ultrathin q-wave plates based on double-L shape plasmonic nanoantennas Ali Kabiri, Emad Girgis, Federico Capasso Double-L resonators are designed to achieve a strong anisotropic optical response. An ultrathin quarter wave plate for mid-infrared frequencies is demonstrated based on array of double-L shape plasmonic nanoantennas. Experimental results are in a good agreement with numerical simulations. The proposed design shows a relatively wide bandwidth response which is suitable for many applications. 12:35 : Microwave propagation in nonlinear MTMS lm surround by anisotropic materials Hala Jarallah El-Khozondar, Rifa Jarallah El-Khozondar, Said Zouhdi In this work, we studied the characteristics of waveguide consists of nonlinear MTMs surrounded by anisotropic materials. The dispersion equation is derived from Maxwells equations. We considered only TE modes in the microwave range. Results display the different behavior of the propagating waves as the refractive index of refraction of MTMs change and as the thickness of the lm changes. 12:55 : Tunable left-handed metamaterial based on ferrite Javad Ghalibafan, Nader Komjani, Behzad Rejaei This paper proposes, a tunable left handed (LH) transmission line consisting of a transversely magnetized ferrite rectangular waveguide loaded by complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR). The left handed behavior is realized by combining the negative permittivity of the CSRR with the negative permeability of the transversely magnetized ferrite, despite them being spatially separated. It is shown that, the left-handed frequency band of this structure can be tuned by changing the DC bias magnetic eld applied to the ferrite.
12:15 - 12:55 Room C Session 1A4-META Experimental characterization techniques Chaired by: Hongqiang Li 12:15 : Raman scattering study of strain in nanostructure oxides J. Belhadi, M. El Marssi, Yaovi Gagou, Yuri Yuzyuk, Igor Raevski We report Raman scattering of ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BT) lm and superlattice (SL) consisting of BT and paraelectric BaZrO3 (BZ). These nano-structures have been growth by a pulsed laser deposition. The epitaxial BT lm and BT and BZ layers with a periodicity of 256 were deposited on MgO substrate buffered with LSCO layer. The spectra revealed that the strain reduces Ti4+ ions disorder and suggest a monoclinic phase in BT layers and polar phase in BZ layers for the SL. 12:35 : Plasmon damping characterized with a nanoprobe Michel Bosman, Shu Fen Tan, Joel K.W. Yang, Christian A. Nijhuis
A novel analysis method is introduced for the quantitative analysis of plasmon damping, based on monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The damping of localized surface plasmons in a large (>50) series of single gold nanoparticles was performed with nanometer spatial accuracy, conrming and expanding earlier theoretical predictions.
12:15 - 13:15 Room D Session 1A5-META Recent advances in nano-particle congurations I Organized by: Samel Arslanagic and Radu Malureanu Chaired by: Samel Arslanagic and Radu Malureanu 12:15 : Invited talk An overview of sum rules and physical limitations for passive metamaterial structures Mats Gustafsson Metamaterials offer many new possibilities to design structures and devices with improved performance. In this paper, we present an overview of physical limitations for passive structures. We present results for extinction cross sections, radar absorbers, high-impedance surfaces, extraordinary transmission, antennas, and temporal dispersion of metamaterials. The results provide a tradeoff between possible performance and bandwidth. As they are derived solely using passivity and linearity, the results also state when it is necessary to use active or non-linear media. 12:35 : Invited talk A sparse scattering model for nanoparticles on rough substrates Mirza Karamehmedovic, Poul-Erik Hansen, Thomas Wriedt We present and validate an efcient forward scattering model for nanoparticles on rough contaminated substrates. 12:55 : Invited talk Gold nanoparticle doped polymer materials for micro- and nanofabrication Sren Vang Fischer, Noriyuki Masuda, Stephan Sylvest Keller, Basil Uthuppu, Mogens Havsteen Jakobsen Gold nanoparticle SU-8 composite was structured by UV photolithography. Point-wise light scattering was observed through dark eld microscopy. Plasmonic extinction peaked at 550 nm and similar response was observed by brief Mie calculation at n=1.63. Spherical gold nanoparticle possesses isotropic feature. However, the composite showed polarization dependency to incident light, indicating that the particles were self-organized chemically and/or physically during the fabrication.
12:15 - 13:15 Room E Session 1A6-META Analytical and numerical modelling of complex materials and structures I Chaired by: Arkadi Chipouline 12:15 : Theory and simulation of cavity quantum electro-dynamics in multi-partite quantum complex systems Moslem Alidoosty Shahraki, Sina Khorasani The general behavior in cavity quantum electrodynamics of complex systems is analyzed. Such quantum optic multipartite systems normally consist of an arbitrary number of quantum dots in interaction with an arbitrary number of cavity modes. For the rst time, we observed a chaotic behavior in the ultrastrong coupling regime. Results are presented and
discussed for the behavior of a real quantum optic system and a multi-partite system consisting of six quantum dots in interaction with one cavity mode. 12:35 : Angular dependence of the optical response of a magnetic anisotropic material: analytical/numerical analysis Marc Warenghem, Jean Franois Blach , Jean Franois Henninot, Salim Nemer We propose a 3 steps method to analyze the role of anisotropy (dielectric and magnetic). The two rst consists in nding analytical expressions for propagation elements and their link with measurable quantities. The third step consists in comparing those results, which involve constitutive relationships, to results which do not involve any effective optical parameters. In this communication, we focus on the rst two steps to lay the foundation for this approach. 12:55 : The investigation of the photonic waveguide structure made of silicon carbide by means of the method of the singular integral equations T. Gric, L. Nickelson, R. Martavicius Here we present the investigation of the photonic waveguide structure by means of the method of the Singular Integral Equations. We discovered peculiarities of the dispersion characteristics.
12:15 - 13:15 Room F Session 1A7-META Novel applications of transformation electromagnetics I Organized by: Ozlem Ozgun and Mustafa Kuzuoglu Chaired by: Ozlem Ozgun and Mustafa Kuzuoglu 12:15 : Transformation electromagnetics for efcient solution of rough surface scattering problems by nite methods Ozlem Ozgun, Mustafa Kuzuoglu A computational model is presented by combining the principles of transformation electromagnetics and nite methods (such as nite element method or nite difference methods) for efcient Monte Carlo simulation of rough surface scattering problems. A simple, single and uniform mesh is employed through repeated Monte Carlo realizations. Hence, the computation time is reduced to a great extent. The technique is demonstrated via various nite element simulations. 12:35 : Invited talk Focusing properties of the Maxwell sh eye lens Rhiannon Christine Mitchell-Thomas, Oscar Quevedo-Teruel, Yang Hao This summary outlines the origin and design of the Maxwell sh eye lens as a sub-wavelength image system, and its association with non-Euclidean transformations. A brief discussion of the focusing property is given, which is supported by two simulation techniques: 1) ray tracing illustrating the focusing in the limit of geometrical optics, and 2) a nite element method simulation, showing that the focusing property is retained for wave optics. 12:55 : Invited talk Experiments on transformation thermodynamics: Molding the ow of heat Robert Schittny, Muamer Kadic, Sebastien Guenneau, Martin Wegener It has recently been shown theoretically that the time-dependent heat conduction equation is form-invariant under curvilinear coordinate transformations. Thus, the concepts of transformation electrodynamics can be applied to thermodynamics as well. Following these ideas, we design, fabricate and characterize a thermal cloaking device that molds the ow of heat around an object in a metal plate. The object is protected from heating while the downstream heat ow is preserved as if no object was there.
Lunch and Exhibit Inspection 13:00 - 14:30
14:30 - 16:30 Room A Session 1A8-META Recent progress on numerical methods for metamaterial analysis I Organized by: Christophe Craeye Chaired by: Christophe Craeye 14:30 : Invited talk A Robustness analysis of the numerical computation of greens dyadics in bianisotropic media Ignace Bogaert The robustness of a previously developed numerical algorithm for the computation of the four Greens dyadics in homogeneous bianisotropic materials is analyzed. The lossy bianisotropic materials are identied as a class of materials for which the numerical computation is provably robust. This is of practical importance because many bianisotropic materials are lossy. 14:50 : Invited talk Selective mode suppression in microstrip differential lines by means of electric-LC (ELC) and magnetic-LC (MLC) resonators Jordi Naqui, Miguel Duran-Sindreu, Ferran Martin In this paper, it is demonstrated that the so-called electric-LC (ELC) resonators, and their dual counterparts, the magneticLC (MLC) resonators, are useful for the selective suppression of either the differential or the common mode in microstrip differential lines. The key point to mode suppression is the alignment of the electric (differential mode) or magnetic (common mode) walls of the line with the resonator. 15:10 : Invited talk Enhanced circuit modeling of metasurfaces Francisco Mesa, Raul Rodriguez-Berral, Francisco Medina, Maria Garcia-Vigueras This paper presents some recent advances in the circuit modeling of 1-D and 2-D periodic metasurfaces. Most of these advances are focused in the obtaining of a fully-analytical equivalent circuit model for the scattering of an obliquely-incident plane wave on a metasurface composed of a periodically patterned metallic surface embedded in a layered dielectric environment. Our approach also provides the exact topology of the network that models the reection/transmission effects of the metasurface. 15:30 : Invited talk Analysis of penrose photonic quasicrystals via Blochs theorem in 5-dimensional superspace Farhad A. Namin, Douglas Werner The lack of translational symmetry presents a major challenge in evaluating the properties of photonic quasicrystals. Previous studies have largely relied on approximate truncated supercell models. We propose an exact solution to capture the entire innite structure. We exploit the fact that quasicrystals can be obtained as irrational projections of higher dimensional periodic lattices. This property allows us to solve the eld equations in higher dimensions where Blochs theorem applies and then project the solution onto the physical space. 15:50 : Keynote talk Plasmonic metamaterials for enhanced spectroscopy and biosensing Hatice Altug, Ronen Adato, Serap Aksu, Arif Cetin, Alp Artar
10
Biosensing technologies that can study biological systems and their dynamic interactions are important for understanding of fundamental biological process and our ability to diagnose and treat diseases. In this talk we demonstrate plasmonic metamaterials can be used to dramatically increase sensitivities of biosensors and infrared absorption spectroscopy technique thus enable to monitor monolayer of proteins and protein interactions in real-time within aqueous solutions.
14:30 - 16:30 Room B Session 1A9-META Plasmonics and nanophotonics I Chaired by: Javier Aizpurua and Min Qiu 14:30 : Light intensity modulation in magneto-plasmonic crystals by a novel longitudinal magneto-photonic effect Vladimir Belotelov, Lars Kreilkamp, Ilya Akimov, Andrey Kalish, Dmitry Bykov, S. Kasture, Y.V. Jayasurya, Achanta Gopal , Alexander Grishin, S.I. Khartsev, L.L. Doskolovich, D.R. Yakovlev, A.K. Zvezdin, M. Bayer Here we postulate a novel magneto-optical phenomenon which originates solely from suitably designed nanostructured metal-dielectric material, so called magnetoplasmonic crystal. For the considered conguration the effect cannot occur in smooth samples. The effect shows up as a change of the optical transmission/reection when the sample is magnetized in-plane. 14:50 : Deep subwavelength double metal disk cavity and applications Soon-Hong Kwon We propose a deep subwavelength plasmonic double metal disk cavity. By reducing radius and thickness carefully, the surface-plasmon-polariton cavity mode with a resonant wavelength of 1550 nm can be conned in a disk with a radius of 88 nm and a thickness of 10 nm, where the physical size is 0.000064 l3 (l: free space wavelength). The cavity mode has a deep subwavelength mode volume of 0.010 (l/2n)3 with high Q of 1900. 15:10 : Coupled nano-plasmons Marian Apostol, Stelian Ilie, Aurel Petrut, Marcel Savu, Stefan Toba A simple model of coupled plasmons arising in two neighbouring nano-particles is presented. It is shown that the plasmons may be periodically trasferred between the two particles. For larger separation distances between the two particles the retardation is included. The van der Waals-London-Casimir force is estimated for the two particles, it is shown that for large distances the force is repulsive. 15:30 : Surface plasmon and bound plasmon-waveguide resonances with As2S3 light sensitive lms in four layers conguration Aurelian Popescu, Dan Savastru, Sorin Miclos, Simona Dontu The surface plasmon resonance calculations were made in Kretschmann conguration that contains four layer. The third layer consists of a thin As2S3 vitreous lm. The sensitivity to the refractive index was calculated. The pick sharpness analyses of plasmonic resonance and bounded plasmon-planar waveguide resonance give the road to improve the sensibility to the refractive index changes in four layer plasmonic structure. 15:50 : Strong emission from nano-iron using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy technique Fareed Faris Rashid, Ashraf El-sherbini El-sherbini, Abdulsalam Al-Muhammady We report a strong emission from laser produced plasma from iron oxide nanomaterials. Analysis showed such enhancement increased with the plasma evolution time, while, it declines as the laser uence increased. The enhancement differs with different laser harmonics. Experimental analysis showed that enhancement is mainly associated with change in the electron density. We claim that strong enhanced emission is due to surface plasmon resonant excitation. Such results could improve LIBS-sensitivity to detect materials at very low concentrations.

16:10 : Four Vertical Prolate Spheroids with a Center Gap as Nanoantenna Mahdieh Khosravi, Ramezan Ali Sadeghzadeh, Mohammad Sadegh Abrishamian In this paper, we rst investigate the properties of a single prolate nanospheroid of different materials to determine basic element. Next, we study the behavior of a structure of four vertical prolate spheroids of same dimension with a center gap (g). Finally, simulation results for different parameters variation (element size and gap distance) have been presented by order. As a result, this semi-turnstile nanoantenna produces intense optical eld enhancement when illuminated at the resonant wavelength.
14:30 - 16:30 Room C Session 1A10-META Emerging technology in plasmonics I Organized by: Mohamed Swillam Chaired by: Mohamed Swillam 14:30 : Invited talk Nano-plasmonic biosensors and photodetectors Ekmel Ozbay In this talk, we will present our recent work on nanoplasmonic biosensors and photodetectors. Tandem truncated nanocones are designed, and fabricated to obtain resonances at laser excitation and Stokes frequencies. Optimized grating structure integrated photodetectors exhibited more than eightfold photocurrent enhancement. 14:50 : Invited talk Active surface plasmon photonics Pierre Berini Active planar structures enabling stimulated emission or amplication of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) are of strong current interest, as are structures for their detection. Both types of active structures are discussed. 15:10 : Invited talk Accurate nite difference analysis of novel trenched channel plasmonic waveguides Ahmed Mahmoud Heikal, Mohamed Farhat Hameed, Salah Sabry Obayya Accurate modal analysis of a novel design of three trenched single mode channel plasmon polariton is introduced and analyzed. The simulation results are obtained using accurate full-vectorial nite difference method for linear oblique and curved interface which overcomes staircase problem of the conventional nite difference methods. The suggested design has a good connement behavior similar to the V-grove structure with improved propagation length. However, the reported structure is easier in fabrication and design with lower propagation loss. 15:30 : Novel symmetric mixed nite element analysis for hybrid dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguide structures Shymaa Ibrahim Hassan Ibrahim, Salah Sabry Obayya A modied symmetric mixed nite element is introduced to be utilized in the modeling of metal-based nanophotonic structures, namely nanoplasmonic waveguides. Besides the benets of conventional curl conforming mixed elements, the symmetric element has the advantage of being independent on the selection of facet related basis functions. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed symmetric elements in simulating plasmonic structures. 15:50 : Invited talk Optical Hyperspace: light propagation and related phenomena in metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion Evgueni Narimanov
12
Metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion (where two eigenvalues of the dielectric permittivity tensor have opposite signs) exhibit a broad bandwidth singularity in the photonic density of states, with resulting manifestations in a variety of phenomena, from spontaneous emission to light propagation and scattering. In this presentation, I will review some of the recent developments in this eld. 16:10 : Invited talk Functional nano-scale plasmonic slot waveguides networks Amr S. Helmy I will present recent developments for networks made out of PSWs as the basis for an integrated platform for functional devices. These devices are designed using an equivalent circuit model. It is capable of predicting the response of any arbitrary PSW network with similar accuracy as FDTD, independent of FDTD-extracted parameters. It provides a means for rapid network design, optimization and tolerance analysis. Initial devices demonstrating record low insertion loss into this class of devices will also be presented.
14:30 - 16:30 Room D Session 1A11-META Recent advances in nano-particle congurations II Organized by: Samel Arslanagic and Radu Malureanu Chaired by: Samel Arslanagic and Radu Malureanu 14:30 : Invited talk Polarization-independent Fano resonance in oligomer structures Ben Hopkins, Wei Liu, Andrey E. Miroshnichenko We study the optical responses of plasmonic and all-dielectric oligomers structures that have an n-fold symmetry. Under certain conditions oligomer structures may support well-pronounced Fano resonance. In the limit of the discretedipole approximation we analytically prove that all the cross-sections are independent of the angle of polarization of the linearly-polarized plane wave. However, the near-eld distribution does depend on the incident polarization. Such polarization independence reveals the peculiar origin of the Fano resonance in oligomer-like structures. 14:50 : Invited talk Multiple-source excitation of active coated nano-particles Samel Arslanagic The present work investigates the resonance and transparency effects that occur in electrically small active coated nanoparticles in the case of multiple-dipole excitation. While the resonance effects are found for dipole locations both inside, as well as outside, the nano-particles, the transparency is only in evidence for dipole locations exterior to particles. Furthermore, the work reports on interesting pattern-rotation possibilities when several dipoles, of different orientations and locations, excite a super-resonant active coated nano-particle. 15:10 : Invited talk A cloak from self-assembled metallic nanoparticles Carsten Rockstuhl, Stefan Mhlig, Mohamed Farhat, Shakeeb Bin Hasan, Alastair Cunningham, Thomas Brgi, Jose Dintinger, Toralf Scharf, Falk Lederer We present the theory, the realization, and the successful experimental characterization of a cloak that was fabricated using self-assembling techniques from the eld of colloidal nanochemistry. The cloak essentially consists of plasmonic nanoparticles that decorate the object to be cloaked, which is a dielectric sphere. It is shown that the cloak almost perfectly suppresses the scattering response of the dielectric sphere in the electric dipolar limit. Extensions to cloak more macroscopic objects are additionally discussed.
13
15:30 : Enhanced optical absorption of nanoparticles in multiple scattering regime Jean-Paul Hugonin, Mondher Besbes, Mathieu Langlais, Philippe Ben-Abdallah Using the coupled multipoles theory and a nite element solver of Maxwell equations we compute the apparent absorption of nanoparticles in two-dimensional nanoparticles lattices immersed inside semi-innite transparent materials. For metallic nanoparticles we demonstrate that this absorption can be enhanced in the visible range by more than one order of magnitude compared with isolated particles thanks to multiple interactions with the neighbourhoods particles. These multiple interaction mechanisms pave the way to a new strategy for engineering light absorption. 15:50 : Invited talk Plasmonic nanoparticles as dielectric tuner, sub-wavelength light conner and heat generator Mady Elbahri Plasmonic nanoparticles drawn the attention in the last few decades due to their exotic properties ranging from subwavelength optics up to guiding of the light and heat generation. In this work, the great potential of nanoparticles as a refractive index tuner, light trapper and heat generator will be thoroughly discussed. 16:10 : Invited talk Nanometric gaps in plasmonics nanostructures: Mode visualization, the classical limit, and transformation optics treatment Stefan Maier Recent progress in nanofabrication has enabled the generation of metallic nanoantennas with gaps on the order of only a few nanometers. Even structures such as the simple bow tie can sustain a number of bright and dark plasmon modes, revealed via electron energy loss spectroscopy. We further discuss the limits of the classical electromagnetism framework on this length scale.
14:30 - 16:30 Room E Session 1A12-META Tunable metamaterials and plasmonics devices I Organized by: Mohamed Farhat and Pai-Yen Chen Chaired by: Mohamed Farhat and Pai-Yen Chen 14:30 : Invited talk Analytical modeling of realistic conformal metasurface cloaks with a line-source excitation Yashwanth R. Padooru, Alexander B. Yakovlev, Pai-Yen Chen, Andrea Alu Here, we report on the analytical modeling and physical properties of conformal metasurface cloaks excited by an electric line source. The realistic metasurface cloaks are formed with 2-D periodic arrays of printed (patches or Jerusalem crosses) and slotted (meshes or Jerusalem cross slots) sub-wavelength elements. It is demonstrated that the analytical grid-impedance expressions, originally derived for planar metasurfaces and plane-wave incidence, may be successfully applied in the analysis of cylindrical conformal mantle cloaks illuminated by near-eld sources. 14:50 : Active metamaterial device based on complementary split ring resonators for controllable light modulation Zhe Liu, Xiaoxiang Xia, Junjie Li, Haifang Yang, Baogang Quan, Changzhi Gu Active metamaterial devices consisted of double layer complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) were studied. They were fabricated by ion beam etching method on Au-SiO2-Au lms, and the biased voltage can be applied on the top and bottom electrodes of the device. Light amplication was observed in transmission spectra for different incident polarizations. The results show the potential applications for CSRR device such as biomaterial sensing and surface enhanced Raman scattering.
14
15:10 : A 3D tunable graphene-based plasmonic cloak Mohamed Farhat, Hakan Bagci The possibility of selectively cloaking 3D objects at Terahertz frequencies is demonstrated. The cloak design relies on graphene layers enfolding dielectric shells and biased via an external electric eld. Particularly, two congurations are investigated: (i) Only one layer of graphene is used to suppress the scattering from a dielectric sphere. (ii) A stack of these layers biased at different gate voltages are used to realize multi-frequency cloaking. 15:30 : Invited talk Subwavelength focusing of surface acoustic wave using a locally resonant metastructure Abdelkrim Khelif, Mohammed Al-Lethawi, Mahmoud Addouche, Sebastien Guenneau We describe an all-angle negative refraction effect for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in 2D phononic crystals made of cylindrical pillars assembled in a square lattice and deposited on the surface of a semi-innite substrate. The isofrequency contours convexity of some branches leads to a NR effect. A at lens for SAW has been designed demonstrating the focusing of an acoustic source into an image on the other side with an image resolution of l/4, which overcomes the diffraction limit. 15:50 : Invited talk Broadly tunable metasurfaces based on phase change materials Federico Capasso, Mikhail Kats, Shiram Ramanathan The effect of the insulator to metal transition (IMT) on the optical properties of thin lms of Vanadium Oxide on sapphire is studied and shown to lead to a perfect absorber at specic wavelengths. By patterning the same lms with optical antennas signicant tunability of the antenna resonances due the IMT is demonstrated 16:10 : Invited talk Liquid-crystal tunable long-range surface plasmon polariton waveguides and directional couplers Dimitrios C. Zografopoulos, Romeo Beccherelli Long Range Surface Plasmon Polariton devices tuned by means of the electro-optic effect in liquid crystal are numerically investigated. Waveguides and 2x2 directional couplers, both in vertical and coplanar conguration are discussed. Application of a control voltage allows modies the dielectric tensor prole and allows for the control of the devices, with low power consumption, high extinction ratio and insertion loss as low as 1 dB.
14:30 - 15:30 Room F Session 1A13-META Photonic crystals II Chaired by: Susumu Noda 14:30 : Dielectric and superconducting one dimensional photonic crystal Waid Sabra We present the transmittance of two types of one-dimensional periodic structures as functions of wavelength of the electromagnetic eld incident on them for different thicknesses of the layers from which they are formed. The rst type of structure consists of alternating layers of a dielectric material and the second one consists of alternating layers of a dielectric material and a superconductor. The variance of the intensity and the bandwidth of the transmittance are strongly dependent on the thicknesses, temperature and frequencies.We have compared between the transmittance spectra and present some details about the two types of structure. 14:50 : Using metallic photonic crystals as visible light sources Sergey Belousov, Maria Bogdanova, Alexei Deinega, Sergey Eiderman, Ilya Valuev, Yurii Lozovik, Ilya Polyshchuk, Boris Potapkin, Badri Ramamurthi, Tao Deng, Vikas Midha
15
We study the possibility of using metallic photonic crystals (PCs) as visible light sources. We achieve a substantial reduction of the emissivity in the infrared along with its increase in the visible with an optimal direct opal PC geometry. We take into account disorder of the PC, and we get quantitative agreement between the numerical and experimental results. Finally, we discuss how the results are affected by absorption in known refractory host materials necessary for xing the PC elements. 15:10 : Eigenmodes Analysis in 2-D Lorentz-Type Frequency-Dependent Photonic Crystals Amin Gul Hanif, Toru Uno, Takuji Arima Electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials including photonic crystals has been widely investigated due to their inherent capabilities for developing novel devices in optics, microwave and antenna engineering. In reality, most of the materials are frequency-dependent, on the other hand, it is necessary to investigate how the performance of photonic crystals depends on frequency. In this paper, it is shown that the eigenmodes can be accurately calculated in two-dimensional Lorentz-type frequency-dependent photonic crystals using a new nite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) algorithm.

We address this problem by adopting the method of nonmagnetic transformation optics. Layered dielectrics can be used to efciently guide SPPs through a right-angle, zero-radius bending corner, or guide SPPs to circumvent a bump on a at surface as if the bump was not there. We experimentally tested the above strategies in microwave regime. Coffee Break and Exhibit Inspection 16:30 - 17:00

An enhancement of the photoluminescence of C60 lm on array of Au nanoparticles was observed. The observed enhancement is due to strong local eld of surface plasmon excited in the gold nanoparticles. P2: Temperature dependence of the surface plasmon resonance in gold nanoparticles Oleg Yeshchenko, Illya Bondarchuk, Valeriy Gurin, Igor Dmitruk, Andriy Kotko The temperature dependences of energy and width of the surface plasmon resonance were studied for gold nanoparticles with sizes 20 - 55 nm in silica host matrix in the temperature range 17 - 915 C. The increase of temperature leads to
22
appreciable red shift and broadening of the surface plasmon resonance in Au nanoparticles. The obtained dependences were analyzed within the framework of theoretical model considering the thermal expansion of the nanoparticle, the electron-phonon scattering in the nanoparticle and the temperature dependence of dielectric permittivity of the host matrix. P3: Calculation the edge frequency of PBG in one-dimensional magnetic photonic crystal and analysis the dispersion and reectance spectra Maryam Mohebbi, Mansor Farhadi We calculated the edge frequency of photonic band by solving electromagnetic wave propagated through a stratied medium and obtain the dispersion relation by the transfer matrix method.

This sample in microwave range has the frequency - selective properties controlled by the magnetic eld. These properties depend on geometry of 2D periodic structure and can be used for the creation a tunable lters in microwave range. P5: Electrodynamical characteristics of magnonic crystal structure with arbitrary transversal prole and nonsymmetrical load Alexandr Sadovnikov, Andrew Rozhnev, Svetlana Evgenevna Sheshukova, Yurii Sharaevsky The method of computation of electrodynamical characteristics of magnetostatic surface waves is applied to the complex multilayered structure, consists of magnonic crystal and non-symmetrical load. Dispersion, eld distribution, group velocity, surface conductance, energy of electromagnetic eld and non-reciprocity characteristics were obtained with this method. P6: Oblique total transmission through epsilon-near-zero materials Yun Lai, Jie Luo Zero-index metamaterials with near zero permittivity and/or permeability usually cannot transmit oblique incident waves due to total reection. Here, we show that if a tiny disturbance changes the metamaterial into an anisotropic one, it is possible to achieve oblique total transmission at certain angles. Our work may have potential applications for angular lters, ultra-sensitive sensors and switches. P7: Tuniable microwave lter using split ring resonator Mondher Labidi, Oussama Tabbebi, Fethi Choubani The idea aim of this paper is to describe the potentiality of sub-wavelength resonators, namely, Split-Ring Resonators, complementary split-ring resonators, and related structures to the suppression of undesired spurious bands in microwave lters, a key aspect to improve their rejection bandwidths.

A closed analytical form is derived for the scattering matrix of any geometry of the interconnected leads. We show that the use of a junction made of e-near-zero material (ENZ) allows to produce perfect transmission. This can be achieved by reducing the area of the ENZ junction (squeezing effect) and by tuning the widths of the output leads with respect to the input lead. P9: Coupled equation of electromagnetic wave in a nonlinear metamaterial waveguide Mina Azari, Mohsen Hatami We have derived nonlinear couple wave equations in a metmaterial waveguide for both electric and magnetic component of electromagnetic wave.

Ghanaatshoar We examine near-eld imaging in a complex two dimensional square-lattice photonic crystal (PC) comprising germanium and silicon cylinders embedded in air. The nite difference time domain method is employed to compute the band structure and simulate the image formation. Compared with ordinary square lattice PCs in which the negative refraction effect occurs in the rst energy band, in our structure, the frequency with effective negative refraction exists in the second band and the structure can support the evanescent waves.

Two anti-symmetric hybridized plasmon modes induce a negative magnetic response in the near infrared and visible range of the spectrum. The resonances of the plasmonic modes can be tuned by changing the side length of the triangular nanoholes and the thickness of the dielectric lm. Two negative index bands are obtained around the resonances of the anti-symmetric plasmon modes.

FDTD algorithm is readily parallelisable and can take advantage of GPU acceleration to achieve speed-ups of 5x-50x depending on hardware setup. Metamaterial scattering problems are implemented using dispersive FDTD technique on GPU resulting in performance gain of 10x-15x compared to conventional CPU implementation.

During the formation of the crystal the electron, leaving the atomic orbitals forms a defect in the electronic conguration, which leads to an increase in the width of the empty valence band. Imaginary and real parts are obtained periodical. The amplitudes of the wave functions with increasing values of energy in energy bands increase in the crystal lattice.

One is an array of gold nanowires offering a plasmonic cover to achieve cancellation of induced dipole moments. The other is hepmaters made of gold nanorods which enables unique orientation dependence. Detailed theoretical and experimental results will be presented. 11:40 : Invited talk Tailoring plasmonic nanocomposites by vapor phase deposition M. K. Hedayati, A. Biswas, H. Takele, T. Strunskus, M. Elbahri, Franz Faupel Plasmonic nanocomposites containing metallic nanoparticles in a dielectric matrix can be tailored by vapor phase codeposition. Formation of the nanostructure occurs through self-organization and does not require e-beam lithography. Examples presented include transparent conducting metal coatings, perfect plasmonic absorbers, and photoswitchable nanocomposites. 12:00 : Photoswitchable perfect absorber at visible frequency Mehdi Keshavarz Hedayati, Mojtaba Javaherirahim, Mady Elbahri Here in this work, we show a new class of photo-switchable perfect absorber working at visible frequency whereas its resonance peak could be broaden upon illumination by ultraviolet light. The as-deposited lm have a high absorption band in UV to green part of spectrum whilst the band-width can be broaden up to 600nm wavelength by few seconds UV irradiation and at the same time the absorption intensity enhances. 12:20 : Invited talk Metamaterials for broadband linear polarization conversion and near-perfect anomalous reection and transmission Nathaniel Grady, Jane Heyes, Dibakar Roy Chowdhury, Yong Zeng, Antoinette Taylor, Diego Dalvit, Hou-Tong Chen We demonstrated high efciency broadband metamaterial linear polarization converter using planar metamaterial structures in the terahertz frequency range. The structures were further used to demonstrate nearly perfect anomalous reection and transmission by introducing a phase gradient in the metamaterials. Results from numerical simulations, experimental measurements, and semi-analytical modeling revealed excellent agreement. 12:40 : Invited talk Plasmonic nanocomposites based on branched gold nanoparticles within mesoporous silica thin lms Paula Angelom, Isabel Pastoriza-Santos, Jorge Prez-Juste, A.

Session 2A7-META New advances in optically magnetic materials for nanophotonics I Organized by: Fernando Moreno and Manuel Nieto-Vesperina Chaired by: Fernando Moreno and Manuel Nieto-Vesperina 11:20 : Invited talk Photon management in two-dimensional disordered media Matteo Burresi, Kevin Vynck, Diederik Wiersma We present a novel nanophotonic strategy based on disorder to greatly augment the absorption of thin-lm materials over a large range of wavelengths. The introduction of a properly engineered 2D random structure in thin-slabs gives rise to guided disordered modes, which traps light impinging from the third direction, thus enhancing the absorption. Furthermore, by properly introducing correlations in the random structure we are able to control spectrally and angularly the coupling properties of the photonic disordered structure. 11:40 : Negative refraction, perfect lenses and new objectives in metaatom research Manuel Nieto Vesperinas The proposal of negative refractive index media and their use for imaging superresolution was precluded by their inherent highly lossy transmittance. Recently a new road is aimed by employing their magnetic response to illuminating waves and their high absorption of incident energy. While the former property conveys effects like Fano resonances, Kerkerlike suppression of scattered intensities in given directions, or highly directional scattering, the latter characteristics lead to new concepts for storage and emission of electromagnetic energy. 12:00 : On the electromagnetic scattering by magnetodielectric small spherical particles Jean-Michel Geffrin, Braulio Garca-Cmara, Raquel Gmez-Medina, Pablo Albella, Luis Froufe-Prez, Christelle Eyraud, Amelie Litman, Rodolphe Vaillon, Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas, Francisco Gonzlez, Juan Jos Senz, Fernando Moreno We analyze the light scattering by a magnetodielectric subwavelength isolated sphere and its capacity to show nonusual scattering properties, like the inhibition of backward scattered intensity and the almost inhibition of the scattered intensity in the forward direction. The possible relevance of this study in micro and nano- technological elds will be presented. 12:20 : Invited talk Towards homogeneous magnetic metamaterials - a comprehensive multipole analysis Christoph Menzel, Erik Hebestreit, Stefan Mhlig, Sven Burger, Carsten Rockstuhl, Falk Lederer, Thomas Pertsch The availability of local, homogeneous metamaterials is of utmost importance for most devices that rely on metamaterials. The desired locality of the response, however, is usually not proven or actually even not questioned. Here, we present a promising set of meta-atoms that provide the desired local articial magnetic response by exploiting the extremely strong coupling regime. We discuss their properties, possibilities, and limitations comprehensively in terms of a multipole expansion technique. 12:40 : Invited talk Quantum effects in small plasmonic particles Rodrigo Alcaraz De La Osa, Juan Marcos Sanz, Jose Maria Saiz, Francisco Gonzalez, Fernando Moreno We examine the plasmonic properties of silver and gold nanospheres and dimers, with radii ranging from 10nm to 1nm, extending from the classically described regime to the quantum size regime. We have studied the spectral extinction cross-section by using the T-matrix method. The results indicate an increasingly substantial change in nanoparticle permittivity as the radius is reduced below 5nm, showing a clear blueshift and weakening of the plasmon resonances for both silver and gold.

Different aperture shapes having different symmetry characteristics are studied. Some specic near-eld features are found to be associated with three mechanisms underlying the transmission spectral proles, providing a way in revealing the physical nature of the enhanced transmission phenomenon. 14:50 : Magetostatic surface resonance in anisotropic spherical and ellipsoidal shapes Zhao Ren, Ali Kabiri, Omar Ramahi We propose a magnetostatic surface resonance (MSR) solution and its conditionsin electrically-small particles such as isotropic ellipsoid, ellipsoid with coating, anisotropic sphereand ellipsoid. The magnetostatic resonance is governed by the particles dimensions, relativepermeability of coating layers and that of the surrounding medium. The conclusions in this workare expected to help understand the interesting MSR phenomenon in isotropic or anisotropicspherical and ellipsoidal structures. 15:10 : Artefact free constant distance near eld optical microscopy Nayla El-Kork, Feiran Lei, Mohammad Ismail Elnaggar, Paul Moretti, Bernard Jacquier We show how constant distance Scanning Near Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) can be genuinely used for the study of a Local Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) biosensor through hot spots imaging. We present a verication procedure that would allow one to assert the validity of SNOM measurements without referring to constant height scans. SNOM images of LSPR hot spots on gold nanoplots, in addition to corresponding Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations, will demonstrate the veracity of the verication method. 15:30 : Photonic TE modes in metal-insulator-metal waveguides Mohammed Ziaullahkhan, Mohammed Abdulaziz Alsunaidi In this paper, the numerical analysis of the photonic TE mode in metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguide is performed and compared with plasmonic TM mode of the same structure. It was found that the TE photonic mode can have advantages over the plasmonic TM mode in terms of energy connement, propagation loss and bend efciency. These properties make the TE photonic mode a suitable candidate for signal propagation and processing in photonic integrated circuits. 15:50 : Keynote talk Nano-plasmonics: material models and computational methods Kurt Busch An overview of the Discontinuous Galerkin Time-Domain with an emphasis on applications to nano-photonic systems is provided.

Valev, Vladimir Volskiy, Guy A. E. Vandenbosch, Victor V. Moshchalkov A Volumetric Method of Moments algorithm is applied to predict the electromagnetic properties of plasmonic metamaterials. It is based on the use of a multi-level building block basis function scheme, in combination with a dedicated Kummer transformation. The algorithm is demonstrated by analyzing a Ninja Star periodic structure. Circular Dichroism (CD) is observed by both simulations and experiments. 14:50 : Invited talk EM models for multisurface metamaterial homogenization Giovanni Sardi, Enrica Martini, Stefano Maci We present a quasi-analytical approach to the homogenization of metamaterials realized by the superposition of identical periodic planar surfaces. It is based on the denition of an equivalent admittance matrix for the single layer, combined with the application of the Bloch theory for the analysis of the periodically loaded equivalent transmission line modelling the layered structure. Different theoretical denitions of equivalence are discussed in connection with practical applications of the homogenization concept. 15:10 : Invited talk A general approach to determine the constitutive parameters of bi-anisotropic metamaterials M. Smierzchalski, K. Mahdjoubi A systemic method is proposed for the characterization of constitutive parameters of bi-anisotropic (BA) metamaterials. The main contributions of the method are: i) the generalization of the inversion of the interface conditions for continuous BA medium and, ii) the proper denition of wave admittances and propagation constants for discontinuous (i.g. periodic) medium by considering the Bloch admittance for taking into account the spatial dispersion. 15:30 : Invited talk Antennas on quasi-synthetic media J. C. Vardaxoglou This paper examines the differences and/or similarities between some of the commonly used canonical equations describing the effective permittivity and permeability of heterogeneous substrates with dielectric or metallic inclusions, at microwave frequencies. 15:50 : Invited talk Characterization of the opened left- and right-handed transmission channels in stacked subwavelength apertures Ekmel Ozbay, Atiila Ozgur Cakmak, Evrim Colak The hybridization of the unit lattices along the propagation direction in stacked subwavelength apertures produces a lefthanded transmission band in the absence of the contributions from higher order diffractions. The left-handed propagation channel is governed by the stacked resonators. The numerical results conrm that the designed structure is scalable to near-infrared wavelengths. A right-handed transmission channel can also be opened for the periodic structures by making use of the Fabry-Perot based cavity modes. 16:10 : Invited talk Multifrequency and low prole metamaterial-inspired antennas Saber Dakhli, Hatem Rmili, Jeans-Marie Floch, Fethi Choubani, Kouroch Mahdjoubi 32
In this paper several low prole and multifrquency metamaterial inspired antennas are designed.

A. Scholl, A. Garcia-Etxarri, S. Sheikholeslami, A. L. Koh We explore optical-frequency quantum and magnetic plasmon modes. Our results demonstrate the quantum-to-classical transition in individual nanoparticles and in nanoparticle dimers, as well as the emergence of optical-frequency magnetism in a metamaterial uid. 14:50 : Invited talk Hybrid plasmonics: theory and applications M. Mojahedi, J. S. Aitchison A review of the modes supported by the hybrid plasmonic waveguides and devices designed and fabricated based on this structure is given. It is seen that hybridization of the plasmonic and the dielectric waveguide modes can lead to a set of diverse and advantageous eld proles. The hybrid plasmonic structure can be used to design variety of nano-photonic devices such as TE- or TM- pass polarizers, polarization independent coupler, and polarization rotator, to name a few. 15:10 : Optimizing silicon-plasmonic waveguides for x(3) nonlinear applications Alexandros Pitilakis, Odysseas Tsilipakos, Emmanouil E. Kriezis Hybrid silicon-plasmonic waveguides constitute an appealing platform for integrated photonic circuitry. They merge the technical maturity and prevalence of the SOI platform with the subwavelength connement of plasmonic waveguides, essential for accessing enhanced nonlinear response at micron length-scales. Employing full-wave numerical simulations complemented with Schrodinger equation techniques, we propose nonlinear waveguide designs for Kerr-effect applications exhibiting minimized impairments due to free-carrier effects, thus raising the power-ceiling imposed on standard silicon waveguides. 15:30 : Invited talk Multi-level 3-D Plasmonic Nano-Circuits Mohamed H. Bakr, Mohamed H. El Sherif, Osman S. Ahmed, Mohamed A. Swillam A novel and compact surface plasmon polarization-controlled beam splitter is proposed. The beam splitter is designed based on the orthogonal junction coupling between silicon nanowires and plasmonic slot waveguides (PSWs). It couples light with different polarizations from a silicon nanowire to multi-level plasmonic set-ups. Two orthogonal PSWs are employed to guide each polarization to its respective port. This ability of controlling polarization can be exploited to achieve 3-D multi-level plasmonic circuits and polarization controlled chip to chip channel. 15:50 : Invited talk Rigorous characterization of surface plasmonic waveguides and guided-wave devices for THz systems C. Themistos, A. Quadir, C. Markides, H. Tanvir, B. M. A. Rahman The design of low loss-waveguides, simple power splitters and narrow band lters, suitable for the THz frequency band,

along with the optimization of the active region of a quantum cascade laser, are presented here. 16:10 : Invited talk Blueshift of the surface plasmon resonance studied with Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) Nicolas Stenger, Sren Raza, Antti-Pekka Jauho, Martijn Wubs, N. Asger Mortensen We used monochromated EELS to study the surface plasmon resonance of isolated silver nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 30 nm down to 3 nm. We observe a signicant blueshift of 0.5 eV. We compare our experimental data with models going beyond the Drude model including the response of inhomogeneous electron density at the surface of noble metallic particles. We discuss the potential implications of this blueshift for nanometer scale plasmonic silver structures in general.

After elucidating the nature of the various resonance modes, we further engineered its electromagnetic properties and demonstrated various lters beyond the limit of conventional Lorentzian-prole lters, including dual-band bandpass lters, high-ratio bandwidth square-wave-like bandpass lters, ultra-wide bandpass lters, and sharp-transition bandpass lter. 14:50 : Invited talk A high-performance terahertz spatial light modulator based on recongurable mesh lters Mehmet Unlu, Christopher W. Berry, Shenglin Li, Shang-Hua Yang, Mohammad Reza Hashemi, Mona Jarrahi A terahertz spatial light modulator based on MEMS-recongurable mesh lters is presented, which offers record-high modulation depths and modulation bandwidths without a compromise on modulation speed and modulation voltage through a fully integrated device conguration. 15:10 : Invited talk Plasmonics for the design of active nanodevices Gregory Wurtz, Anatoly Zayats Plasmonic nanomaterials show promise to revolutionize nanotechnology, in particular in the area of information technology. Their potential in the design of active nanodevices with the speed of photonic devices and the nanoscale dimension of semiconductor electronics, will open a new technological era not constrained by the limitations in size and speed photonics and electronics devices currently show. In this presentation we will discuss the potential of complementary plasmonic structures in providing solutions in the development of active nanodevices. 15:30 : Invited talk Broadband and hybrid plasmonic/dielectric cavities for sensing and spectroscopy Stefan Maier A new design approach for plasmonic nanoantennas covering a spectral range from the visible to the mid-infrared is presented, based on a log periodic geometry. Examples in higher harmonic generation as well as surface enhanced
34
infrared absorption spectroscopy are shown. We also demonstrate how the gure of merit of localized surface plasmon resonance sensors can be signicantly increased via hybridization of the plasmonic modes with higher-order Fabry Perot resonances of an underlying dielectric thin lm. 15:50 : Invited talk Long-range interaction of localized surface plasmons from periodic to random Au nano-disk patterns Yoshiaki Nishijima, Lorenzo Rosa, Juodkazis Saulius The plasmon resonance of periodic/random arrays of Au-nanodisks has beeninvestigated experimentally and numerically. During the randomization, plasmonresonance spectra become broadened, however the electro-magnetic eldenhancement is augmented by a factor of 10-102 times as shown by the niteelements time domain (FDTD) calculations. The randomized structures arepromising for the applications in opt-electronics and sensing. 16:10 : Invited talk Plasmonic metadevices based on phase discontinuity for circular polarizations Xianzhong Chen, Lingling Huang, Holger Mhlenbernd, Guixin Li, Benfeng Bai, Qiaofeng Tan, Guofan Jin, Cheng-Wei Qiu, Thomas Zentgraf, Shuang Zhang Ultrathin metasurfaces consisting of a monolayer of subwavelength plasmonic resonators are capable of generating local abrupt phase changes and can be used for controlling the wavefront of electromagnetic waves. The phase discontinuity depends on the orientation of dipole antennas, and can be reversed by ipping the circular polarization of incident light. We experimentally demonstrated dispersionless phase discontinuity devices for controlling light propagation, and a dual-polarity plasmonic metalens in the visible range.

Our technique is either colloidal or colloidal hole nanolithography. One example utilizes tailored split-ring nanoantennas with polarization-dependent resonances in the mid infrared, which allows for enhancement of the infrared absorption of single molecular layers (SEIRA). 14:50 : Invited talk Nanoparticle direct doping: Novel method for manufacturing three-dimensional bulk plasmonic nanocomposites Marcin Gajc, Katarzyna Sadecka, Andrzej Klos, Barbara Surma, Dorota A. Pawlak Metallodielectric materials with plasmonic resonances at optical and infrared wavelengths are attracting interest, due to their potential novel applications in photonics, plasmonics and photovoltaics. However, simple and fast fabrication methods for volumetric plasmonic nanocomposites that offer control over the size, shape and chemical composition of the plasmonic elements have been missing. Here, we present such a manufacturing method with experimental realisations of volumetric nanocomposites doped with plasmonic nanoparticles that exhibit resonances at VIS/IR wavelengths. 15:10 : Fabrication and optical properties of arrays of caped Au multi-step-nano-holes Benzhong Wang, Hongwei Gao, Ning Xiang, Soo Jin Chua

A facile method to fabricate unique nanostructures, multi-step nano-hole with a cap of Au, has been described, where a self-assembled monolayer of nanospheres is employed as masks in dry etching processes. A sample with two-step structures has been obtained, which show strong extraordinary optical transmission at wavelength of 635 nm, while it appears at 945 nm for the one-step structures. 15:30 : Invited talk Optical chirality in self-assembled nanoplasmonic metamaterials Sang-Soon Oh, Angela Demetriadou, Sebastian Wuestner, Ortwin Hess Metamaterials with chiral geometry at the nanometer scale, fabricated using a recently demonstrated self-assembly technique, may enable a new way of achieving strong chirality at optical wavelengths. On the basis of our tri-helical metamaterial model, we theoretically predict the band structure and plasma frequency of the single gyroid metamaterial. 15:50 : Invited talk Si-nanorod-based plasmonic metamaterials: modeling, fabrication, and characterization Silvia Peruch, J.S. Bouillard , D. OConnor, Wayne Dickson, Gregory Wurtz, Anatoly Zayats, Xiang-Lei Han, Tahsin Akalin In this paper we investigate the optical properties of several Si-based plasmonic structures, including cavities and waveguides using both model calculations and experimental results. We show that the use of high refractive index materials such as Si can offer excellent opportunities in the design of nanoscale optical functionalities. 16:10 : Invited talk Bottom-up plasmonic metasurfaces: Macroscopic thermal management, thin-lm photovoltaics and control of the interband absorption A. Dmitriev In numerous applications of light transformation into heat the focus recently shifted towards highly absorptive materials featuring nanoplasmons. It is currently established that noble metals-based absorptive plasmonic platforms deliver signicant light-capturing capability and can be viewed as super-absorbers of optical radiation. However, direct experimental evidence of plasmon-enabled macroscopic temperature increase that would result from these efcient absorptive properties is lacking so far.

By placing a complementary composite layer on top of the electrode, we can cancel the back-scattering of the latter thus obtaining a perfectly transparent structure. For ease of fabrication, we performed the rst experiments in the THz regime, but the concept is applicable to the entire electromagnetic waves spectrum. We show that the experiments and theory match each other perfectly. 14:50 : Invited talk Magnetoplasmonics: Combining magnetic and plasmonic functionalities
36
Gaspar Armelles, Alfonso Cebollada, Antonio Garcia-Martin, Jos Miguel Garcia-Martin, Maria Uju Gonzalez, David Meneses-Rodriguez Nanosystems with combined magnetic and plasmonic functionalities have in recent years become an active topic of research. In these new structures, know as magneto-plasmonics, magnetic and plasmonic properties are intertwined, allowing for example plasmonic properties to become tunable upon de application of a magnetic eld or the MagnetoOptical effects to be largely increased by plasmon resonance excitation. In the present work the state of the art and current understanding of the phenomenology associated with magnetoplasmonic structures will be reviewed. 15:10 : Invited talk Dynamical study and group velocity picture for metamaterials and devices Xunya Jiang The wave propagation in the meta-material is so strange that many arguments appear when a kind of new material or a new effect is found, e.g. could the material exist in real world? or is the effect real real? etc. In this presentation, we will give several examples such as superlens, hyperlens and cloak, to show that the dynamical study is the key method to solve such problems. 15:30 : Invited talk Nanostructuring and plasmon ruler based on photothermal effects Min Qiu Losses in many cases are inevitable in plasmonic nanophotonic devices. Light absorption due to losses may greatly degrade the performance of such devices. 15:50 : Invited talk Robust interface states in photonic crystals with Dirac cone dispersions X.Q. Huang, M. Xiao, C.T. Chan We have previously showed that 2D photonic crystals that have Dirac cone like dispersions at k=0 behave as if it has a zero refractive index if the bands are derived from monopole and dipole excitations. Here, we show that if we form an interface between two photonic crystals, each with system parameters slightly perturbed from the condition of Dirac cone formation, there are always localized modes in the interface. The robustness of such states is explored and explained. 16:10 : Invited talk Metamaterials to bridge propagating waves and surface waves and control electromagnetic waves Qiong He, Shulin Sun, Shiyi Xiao, Xin Li, Din Ping Tsai, Lei Zhou We review our recent efforts in employing metamaterials to control electromagnetic (EM) waves.

Narimanov, Mikhail A. Noginov We demonstrate control over Frster energy transfer in the vicinity of media that possess a high density of photonic states, such as metals and hyperbolic metamaterials. We observe that such media, which enhance spontaneous emission rates, inhibit Frster energy transfer. 17:20 : Microwave metamaterials with competing nonlinearity Polina Kapitanova, Alexey Slobozhanyuk, Ilya Shadrivov, Pavel Belov, Yuri Kivshar We suggest an approach for creating metamaterials with sign-varying nonlinear response. We demonstrate that microwave metamaterials with such competing nonlinearities can be created by loading split-ring resonators (meta-atoms of the structure) with pairs of varactor diodes and photodiodes exhibiting nonmonotonic resonance frequency shift on incident microwave power. Additionally, the nonlinear response of such metamaterials can be controlled by illuminating the meta-atoms by light. 17:40 : Frequency conversion and time reversal via a dynamic metamaterial Andrii Chumak, Alexy Karenowska, Vasyl Tiberkevich, Alexander Serga, John Gregg, Andrey Slavin, Burkard Hillebrands We report on an all-linear frequency conversion and time reversal process which occurs when the transmission properties of a waveguide containing a traveling wavepacket are rapidly switched from a spatially homogeneous state to one in which they vary periodically on a lengthscale comparable to the wave wavelength. We describe the experimental observation of the phenomenon in a spin-wave system incorporating a one-dimensional dynamic magnonic crystal, and explain how the results might be generalized to any physical domain. 18:00 : Dual property of double negative and near- zero- refractive index metamaterial Abhishek Sarkhel, Pampa Nandi, S. R. Bhadra Chaudhuri The design of metamaterial having simultaneous properties of negative refractive index near zero (NRINZ), positive refractive index near zero (PRINZ) as well as double negative (DNG) behavior for a specic frequency region is proposed. The metamaterial conguration consists of pair of short parallel metal wires and continuous wires. We discussed the effect of such near zero refractive index metamaterial to tailor convergence behavior of radiation emanating from a radiator or electromagnetic wave transmission through a sub wavelength aperture.

Alan Shore Analytical modeling of cylindrical semiconductor nano-lasers has been undertaken accommodating local gain variations in the active region of the device. Specically modal gain calculations have been performed using the cylindrical transfer matrix method (cTMM). For representative gold-clad In0.2Ga0.8As structures it is shown that for lower order TE and TM mode, modal gains of order 1500 cm-1 and 130 cm-1 can be achieved thereby providing the opportunity to support lasing with appropriately chosen device lengths. 17:20 : Antireection structure with monolayers of metal nanoparticles Sergey G. Moiseev In this work, we propose a model of a low-reective structure based on monolayers of metal nanoparticles embedded in a host dielectric medium. Our results show that the optical characteristics of antireection coating can be improved using a single layer of silver nanoparticles. 17:40 : On the importance of higher order Bloch modes for the homogenization of periodically structured media Christoph Menzel, Thomas Paul, Carsten Rockstuhl, Falk Lederer, Thomas Pertsch In this contribution we discuss the homogenization of periodically structured media, in particular metamaterials, by means of a Bloch mode analysis and prove the general importance of higher order Bloch modes. We show that the fundamental Bloch mode approximation is of paramount importance, since it provides probably the only way to derive unique effective parameters. The physical origin of common issues like the convergence of effective parameters with the thickness of the sample is resolved within this contribution. 18:00 : Simulation of outcoupling in OLEDs with structured cathodes with nite-difference time-domain method Sergey Belousov, Maria Bogdanova, Ilya Valuev, Horst Greiner We study the optical performance of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the corrugated cathode. We model the outcoupling efciency of OLEDs with two-dimensional periodic as well as random corrugations of the cathode. We show that outcoupling efciency of vertically oriented emitters is greatly enhanced by the presence of corrugations, in accordance with experimental ndings. The enhancement is strongly dependent on both geometry of corrugations and material parameters of the cathode.

39
We show that we can control the position of a hot spot in a linear trimer of metallic nanoparticles by tuning the angle of incidence or the illuminated frequency of an impinging plane wave. We also show that the forward/backward scattering of metallic particles can be controlled by tuning the distance between a dipolar emitter and the particle. We derive an analytical model able to accurately predict the scattering property of a single antenna. 17:20 : Invited talk Tunable nanoplasmonics M. A. Swillam In this paper we present novel mechanisms for tuning and controlling the response of plasmonic waveguide made using metal-insulator-metal (MIM) conguration. These mechanisms allow for full control on the transmission response from these waveguide based structures. This control can be done optically or mechanically. The applications and advantages of these mechanisms are discussed in details. 17:40 : Invited talk Label-free, coupler-free, scalable and intracellular bio-imaging by multi-mode plasmonic resonances Yueh-Chun Lai, Hsin-Cheng Lee, Shu-Wen Kuo, Cheng-Kuang Chen, Hsieh-Ting Wu, Oscar K. Lee, Ta-Jen Yen From direct electric excitations on SRR structures, we demonstrated multi-mode plasmonic resonances that can be quantitatively described by our standing-wave plasmonic resonance model. We further manifest that the lower-order modes possess greater sensitivity associated with stronger localized electromagnetic eld leading to greater sensitivity, while the higher-order modes present mediate sensitivity with micron-scale detection lengths to allow intracellular bioevents detection. These unique merits enable the SRR-based sensor a label-free, coupler-free, scalable and intracellular sensing/imaging device. 18:00 : Invited talk Optouidic transmission optics and tunable metamaterials Ai Qun Liu In this paper, the state-of-the-art of optouidic research and tunable metamaterials are reviewed with breakthrough innovations in optical and photonic devices, including the high potential applications of optouidics in biophysical, biochemistry and biomedical studies.

During this talk we will present various fabrication approaches to improve the performance of photovoltaic (PV) cells by using metallic nanoparticles in order to generate photocurrent below the bandgap. This effect is possible due to the generation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in optimized nanoparticles. 17:40 : Effective index engineering using metal-dielectric metamaterials for silicon photonics applications Natalia Dubrovina, Xavier Le Roux, Rafael Salas-Montiel, Sylvain Blaize, Andr de Lustrac, Gilles Lerondel, Anatole Lupu We report experimental and modeling results for the behavior of metallic metamaterials (MMs) in guided wave conguration to explore their potential for silicon photonics applications. The investigated approach consists in using hybrid guiding structure made of metamaterial layer over high index slab waveguide, as for instance silicon on insulator (SOI) in present case. It is namely demonstrated that the effective index and the loss level in such hybrid waveguides can be carefully controlled with planar metallo-dielectric MMs. 18:00 : Invited talk Active functionalities with hybrid plasmonic nanostructures Wayne Dickson, Gregory A.

Grigorenko, Andrei V. Kabashin This presentation will review our activities in the frame of bio-plasmonics project, which implies the development of methods for biosensing/imaging using plasmonic nano/metamaterials. We developed bottom-up laser assisted methods involving laser ablation to form ultrapure gold nanoparticles and arrays. We also developed a series of phase-sensitive plasmonic biosensing methods. Proting from singular phase behavior in conditions of SPR or diffractive-coupled LPR, phase-sensitive sensors promise an unprecedented detection limit 17:20 : Invited talk Effective optical properties of polymer-gold nanoparticle lms: Theory and experiments Olivier Merchiers, Julien Vieaud, Kvin Ehrhardt, Marc Warenghem, Yves Borensztein, Virginie Ponsinet, Ashod Aradian We study the effective optical properties of composite lms made of spherical gold nanoparticles in a polymer matrix, in dilute (5 percent gold fraction) and dense (20 percent) regimes. Nanoagregation effects occur, entailing couplings between particles, we propose to take these into account in a simple way using a modied Maxwell Garnett formula based on a distribution of ellipsoids. This allows for very good ts of experiments in the dilute regime, and rather satisfactory ones in the dense regime.

Coffee Break and Exhibit Inspection Session 3P1-META Poster session II 10:15 - 11:20
P1: Multiple Gap solitons generation in tilted 2D Bragg grating Alexander Sadovnikov, Andrew Rozhnev The process of the electromagnetic wave propagation in the 2D tilted nonlinear Bragg grating structure has been studied. The cubic Kerr nonlinearity of materials was considered. The process of soliton tunneling and the multiple gap-soliton formation has been investigated for the different values of the structure parameters. P2: Inuence of Ag doping on structural and optical properties of ZnO thin lms synthesized by sol-gel technique Hamid Merzouk, Azeddine Chelouche, Djamel Djouadi, Ali Aksas Thin lms of Ag-ZnO samples with different percentage of Ag content (1, 2 and 3 at percent) were synthesized by a dip-coating sol-gel method. Samples present hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average grain size is about 15 nm. AFM shows a very low roughness of the layers for 2 at percent Ag simples. Up to 3 at percent, c-axis lattice parameter shifts towards higher value. The maximum transmission value is obtained for 2 at percent simples. P3: Numerical analysis of whispering gallery mode enhanced light absorption in amorphous silicon thin lm
43
absorber with hemisphere and nanocone arrays Gumin Kang, Kyoungsik Kim We numerically investigated light absorption enhancement of amorphous silicon thin lm absorber with dielectric hemisphere (HS) and nanocone (NC) arrays. The polystyrene (PS) HS and NC array have a graded index prole, resulting in broadband antireection. Additionally, they can enhance light trapping by whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonances excited in the hemispherical or conical structure. FDTD simulation results show a connement of incident light inside the HS or NC structure and resulting sharp resonance peaks verify the WGM resonance. P4: Simple normalization for complete photonic bandgaps in two-dimensional photonic crystals with square lattice Jong-Bin Yeo, Hyun-Yong Lee The characteristics of the photonic band gaps (PBGs) in two-dimensional photonic crystals (2D PCs) were theoretically studied using a FDTD simulation method. A novel concept of an optical coverage ratio (OCR) was proposed as a criterion parameter to determine whether the complete PBGs. The OCR is an optically compensated parameter given as a function of index contrast and lling factor. For PCs with the same OCR, but the different conditions, the frequency range of the complete PBG could be normalized. P5: Polymer microtips fabricated at the extremity of different type optical bers Paulina Pura, Bartosz Wisniowski, Anna Spadlo, Leszek R. Jaroszewicz, Pawel Marc, Malgorzata Kujawinska In this paper we present a simple method of manufacturing micrometer-sized polymer elements at the extremity of both photonic crystal and polymer bers and their possible modications in order to provide requested functionalities. Exemplary polymer microtips manufactured from the polymeric material will investigate as coupling elements between different types of optical bers including silica and polymer materials and standard single-mode and photonic crystal, also. P6: Polarization-dependent spectra of photonic crystal with plasmonic defect Sergey G. Moiseev, Vladimir A. Ostatochnikov, Dmitrii I. Sementsov Optical spectra of an articial layered periodic structure with a nite number of periods and a plasmonic defect is analyzed. Two orthogonal polarizations of an incident wave correspond to different plasmon resonance frequencies of the nanocomposite. If one of the plasmon frequencies coincides with the defect mode frequency in one of the photonic bandgaps, complete suppression of the defect mode in the transmission spectrum is possible, which makes the spectra of such structures polarization-sensitive. P7: Broadband spectroscopy of nanoporous-gold promoter Satoko Kuwano Nakatani, Youn-Hee Han, Toshiharu Takahashi, Teruyoshi Awano The efciency of UV photocatalysis on TiO2 particles was increased by mixing TiO2 particles with nanoporous gold (NPG) with pore diameters of 10-40 nm. This means that NPG acts as a promoter in the photocatalytic reaction of TiO2. Broadband spectroscopic results from millimeter wave to ultra violet of NPG membrane alone and NPG on TiO2 are discussed to estimate plasmonic effect on the catalysis. P8: Enhancement of solar cell efciency by metal nanowire ensembles incorporated into interface of semiconductor substrate Nicols L. Dmitruk, Alexander V. Korovin The enhancement of electric eld intensity was analyzed for periodic ensemble of gold cylindrical nanowires for different types of nanowires location on semiconductor substrate. It was found that nanowires built into interface of substrate is more efcient for solar cell application due to increasing of electron-hole pairs generations. These increasing appear from increasing of local electric eld near nanowires surface that reaches value about 1000 and from interference of scattered led from nanowires in semiconductor substrate. P9: VO2-based multilayers with enhanced luminous transmittance and switching properties Yuan Zhao, Xuanru Zhang, Randy Knize, Yalin Lu
44
We studied the optical properties of VO2/Al:ZnO(AZO)/glass multilayer lms near the semiconductor-metallic (S-M) transition of VO2 when changing the temperature across the S-M transition. It was found that both VO2/AZO/glass lms with a periodic VO2 stripe grating and ZnO/VO2/AZO/glass multilayer structures showed much enhanced luminous transmittance and the solar modulation ability. P10: Enhanced absorption in thin lm solar cells using dual plasmonic effect in Ag and Ag-Al nanoparticles Dong-Jin Lee, Seung-Gol Lee, Se-Geun Park, Beom-Hoan O We have succeeded in effectively wavelength tuning of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in the silveraluminum (Ag-Al) nanoparticles (NPs) by Al content. Using this characteristic, we propose a simple and effective method to enhance light absorption in thin lm solar cells by the cooperative LSPR effect in Ag and Ag-Al nanoparticles, which aroused from dual resonance enhancement of two different nanoparticles. P11: Analysis of nanoparticles self-organization in microdroplets Maria Bogdanova, Sergey Belousov, Alexander Afanasyev, Petr Lebedev-Stepanov Spectrum of light transmission through a microdroplet made of polystyrene nanoparticles was calculated numerically and analyzed on the base of photonic crystal optical properties. Measuring of transmission spectrum can provide information about ordering quality of nanoparticles, number of layers and average lattice constant in a single layer. P12: A study on the properties of chalcogenide based glasses for 8-12 IR region aspherical optical lens application Dong-Sik Bae, Jong-Bin Yeo, Hyun-Yong Lee We determine the composition of GeSbSe chalcogenide glass for IR lenses and variety the effect of Ge19Sb23Se58. Because this composite rate have good properties of optical, thermal, physical, and structural. The chalcogenide glass was compared quenching with annealing. The optical, structural and thermal properties were measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), respectively. From the analysis result, We ascertained the feasibility as a molding materials for infrared optics. P13: Brillouin light scattering techniques for nanocomposite magnetite materials Alexander Sadovnikov, Denis Voronin, Shchukin Dmitry, Gorin Dmitry, Beginin Evgeny, Yu. P. Sharaevsky, Nikitov Sergey The preparation method of composite coatings containing magnetite nanoparticles on metallic substrates previously modied with ultrasonic treatment was presented. First experimental study of such structures was carried out by microBrillouin light scattering (micro-BLS) technique. The increase of the signal intensity of the light scattering from thermal magnons with higher magnetic nanoparticles layers was demonstrated. The tunable features of the BLS spectra with the change of external magnetic eld were observed. P14: Analytical model of a self-complementary connected array on high impedance surface Xavier Begaud, Fabrice Linot, Michel Soiron, Christian Renard This paper presents an analytical model to design a self-complementary connected array above articial material. The purpose of this model is to facilitate and set parametric studies for a signicantly shorter time than an electromagnetic simulator. We have derived analytical models to design the proposed phased array antenna above high impedance surface, absorber or reactive. These articial materials can modify the antenna behavior by either increasing the bandwidth with control of an agile band or by adding several bandwidths. P15: Effective bilayer slab retrieval for asymmetric scattering response Muhammad Amin, Hakan Bagci A method to retrieve effective medium properties from the scattering parameters of a metamaterial unit cell with asymmetry along the direction of propagation is proposed. P16: Microwave scattering diagrams of three-layered SiC-metamaterial/ gyrotropic ferrite-SiC cylinders L. Nickelson, J. Bucinskas, R. Martavicius We present the rigorous solution of boundary diffraction problem about the microwave scattering by a multilayered
45
cylinder. The material permittivity or/and permeability of any layer may be made of isotropic or uniaxial anisotropic or gyrotropic materials. The number and thickness of layers is not limited in our solution. Using the obtained solution we calculated scattering diagrams (a radial component of real part of the Poynting vector) inside and outside of cylinder. P17: Tunable photonic crystals in nonpolar solvents Youngmin Kim, Ahreum Joo, Hyun Min Cho, Young-seok Kim To prepare the suspension of the nanoparticles in nonpolar solvents, the dispersion stability tests of Fe3O4/SiO2 nanopartilces and SiO2 nanoparticles in nonpolar solvents with various charge control agents were carried out. We found that the most stable suspension of Fe3O4/SiO2 in tetrachlorethylene produced the structural colors under magnetic and electric elds. Interestingly, the encapsulated Fe3O4/SiO2 suspension was assembled to ordered structure producing the structural colors. P18: A novel method for implementation of the waveguide lters with prescribed transmission zeros using metamaterial-based structures H. S. Farahani, A. Khaleghi, R.A. Sadeghzadeh In this paper, a novel method for implementation of the waveguide lters with prescribed transmission zeros (TZs) is presented.

Chamtouri, Mondher Besbes, Julien Moreau, Michael Canva In order to overcome the intrinsic limitations of purely propagating plasmonic (PP) sensing devices, nano and micro structuration of the substrates is investigated in order to make also use of localized plasmons (LP) and possible coupling in between those modes, PP and LP. It is demonstrated that to really take advantage of nano-micro structured plasmonic gratings, it is also required to localize the sensing probes where the target capture will affect the most the plasmonic sensor response. 12:00 : Invited talk Plasmonic biosensing for deciphering cellular pathways Laura M. Lechuga Plasmonic biosensing is one of the most powerful techniques for label-free analysis of biomolecular interactions in real time.

Plasmonic biosensing could help in improving the diagnosis and follow-up of therapies for diseases as cancer. 12:20 : Invited talk Synthesis of Au nanostars and their applications for sensing Isabel Pastoriza-Santos Metal nanoparticles display interesting optical properties related to localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs). Such resonances depend on the particle size and shape and surrounding medium nature. LSPRs generate high electromagnetic elds at the nanoparticles surface which are very intense and highly focalized at particles edges and tips. In this communication, the synthesis of gold nanostars (with tailored dimensions/optical properties) using a seed-mediated method in N,N-dimethylformamide is presented. Additionally, some examples showing their potential for sensing applications are presented. 12:40 : Near eld coupling in plasmonic sensor designs

In contrast to ordinary metallic structures, superconducting metamaterial components can be miniaturized down to nanoscale while still maintaining very broad frequency tunability and low-loss properties. Moreover, superconductors offer an intriguing and unique possibility of exploring the quantum effects in metamaterials. 11:40 : Invited talk A convergence proof for dynamic homogenization Alain Bossavit We justify, by an asymptotic analysis, an homogenization method which applies to the Maxwell system of equations in the harmonic case at angular frequency .The method yields effective coefcients by solving theMaxwell system on a fundamental domain of the crystal-like metamaterial of interest, with appropriate periodic boundary conditions.The case of all-dielectric materials, with strong contrast, is especially addressed. 12:00 : Invited talk Quantum-Dot metamaterials M.

Kivshar Control of spontaneous emission is crucial for a broad range of applications such as single-photon sources, efcient lasers, displays, solar energy harvesting, and biological markers. The quantum dot (QD) emission can be efciently controlled through coupling to photonic structures, such as microcavities, photonic crystals, and plasmonic particles. Nanostructured plasmonic materials can be superior for emission enhancement due to their high local-eld enhancement and good coupling to free space. 12:20 : Electrodynamical analysis of metamaterial waveguides coated with silicon carbides L. Nickelson, A. Bubnelis, S. Asmontas Here we present our calculation results of dispersion characteristics and electromagnetic (EM) eld distributions of open two-layered cylindrical waveguides. 12:40 : Stability and noise in metamaterials with non-foster inclusions Khalid Rajab, Yifeng Fan, Yang Hao Metamaterials loaded with active inclusions can exhibit increased bandwidth and reduced loss as compared to their passive counterparts. However, fundamental and practical aspects of their design will constrain their implementation.
48
Namely, the active metamaterials may suffer from instability and increased noise gures. In this presentation we will detail the investigation of these issues as implemented with non-Foster loads, and in particular to the effective constitutive parameters.
11:20 - 12:40 Room D Session 3A5-META Graphene metamaterials Chaired by: Rainer Hillenbrand 11:20 : Silver nanoparticle distribution with the dependence of graphene layer number Hsing-Ying Lin, Chen-Han Huang, Hsiang-Chen Chui The size distribution of silver nanoparticles deposited on the monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer graphene substrates are studied. Thermal evaporation method was used to deposit silver. Graphene layers were obtained by using the mechanical splitting of graphite. Systematic analyses revealed that the average size of nanoparticles increased with the number of graphene layers. The mechanisms of formation of these layer-dependent morphologies of silver on n-layer graphene are related to the surface free energy and surface diffusion of the n-layer graphene. 11:40 : Effective modeling of graphene as a conducting sheet in the nite-difference time-domain method Vahid Nayyeri, Mohammed Soleimani, Omar Ramahi An effective approach for Finite-Difference Time-Domain modeling of graphene as a conducting sheet is proposed. A novel technique for implementing a conducting sheet boundary condition in the FDTD method which is based on use of backward- and forward-difference schemes for the spatial derivatives is used for modeling of graphene sheet. 12:00 : Band gap opening of graphene Choirul Musqin, Adhi Yudha Perkasa, Yulia Rachmawati In recent years, some new experimental techniques have been developed to give graphene a band gap. Although it has extraordinary properties, graphene has no band gap while to realize the real application in electronic devices which is mostly made from semiconductors, graphene should has band gap. This article aims to review recent experimental development of band gap opening for graphene. Suggestion for future research are also discussed. 12:20 : Spontaneous nonparametric down-conversion of plasmon-polaritons Vladimir Hizhnyakov, Helle Kaasik, Imbi Tehver The spontaneous down-conversion of laser light focused on metal-dielectric interface is considered. In this case the working second-order susceptibility is enhanced due to excitation of plasmon-polaritons. It is found that strong enhancement of the process takes place for the laser intensity close to the critical intensity. The further increasing of intensity will cause weakening of the process. The crossover of the efciency takes place if the amplitude of oscillations of the eikonal coincides with the wavelength of excitation.

By utilizing the ideas developed in these research areas and using specially-designed materials, unusual electromagnetic properties such as articial magnetism, negative refractive index, cloaking and squeezing photons through subwavelength holes have been demonstrated. These novel elds need new material fabrication techniques, especially bottom-up approaches such as self-organization. 12:00 : Invited talk Anomalous dispersion and transport properties of chiral metamaterial Hongqiang Li Metamaterial approach provides much freedom in the manipulation of electromagnetic chirality.

51
Lossless dielectric nanospheres with moderate refraction index may present strong electric and magnetic dipolar resonances. We analyze the light scattering from a dilute dispersion of dipolar semiconductor spheres. We show that there is an optical frequency range in which the scattering asymmetry parameter is negative and hence the dispersion acquires a transport mean free path smaller than its scattering mean free path. The effective refractive index and reection and transmission coefcients of a disordered thin lm will be discussed. 14:50 : Invited talk Magneto-optical response of nanoparticles and some potential use in active nanophotonics Remi Carminati, Hugues Marinchio, Remi Vincent, Juan Jose Saenz We discuss the magneto-optical response of nanoparticles, and their potential use in plasmonics and for thecontrol of non-radiative energy transfer in molecular uorescence.

By placing a point-like dipolesource near a single dielectric particle driven at the magneticresonance results the radiation pattern similar to that of a Huygenssource with the enhanced forward and vanishing backward emission.This feature can be employed in the Yagi-Uda geometry for highly efcient optical nanoantennas. 15:30 : Invited talk Magnetic response of Si nanoparticles in the visible spectral region Andrey B.

Inuences of the particle sizes, shapes, and environments on the spectral positions of the electric and magnetic dipole resonances are discussed by comparison of experimental and theoretical results. It is shown that it is possible to design nanoparticles for which the electric dipole and magnetic dipole resonances are located at the same wavelength. 15:50 : Keynote talk Electromagnetic surface wave manipulation by plasmonic metasurface Wei Ting Chen, Yao-Wei Huang, Pin Chieh Wu, Kuang Yu Yang, Shulin Sun, Chia Min Chang, Ming Lun Tseng, Bo Han Cheng, Yen Ju Liu, Yueh-Hung Cheng, Chun Yen Liao, Hung-Kuei Tsai, Kuang Sheng Chung, Yu Lim Chen, Hung Yi Chung, Yung Chiang Lan, Ding-Wei Huang, Ai Qun Liu, Chih-Ming Wang, Guang-Yu Guo, Lei Zhou, Din Ping Tsai Using plasmonic nanostructures to manipulate the scattered light from the SPP and free-space impinging waves is demonstrated. The curved arrangement of Au nanobumps can scattered the surface plasmon waves and focused into spots in three-dimensional space. The light can be modulated into desired light patterns. For the free-space impinging waves, a gradient meta-surface supports broadband (750-900 nm) anomalous light reections at 850nm wavelength with high conversion efciency (80 percent) is realized.

14:30 : Invited talk Plasmonic super-radiance and collective resonance state at the loss compensation condition near metal nanoparticle Vitaliy Pustovit, Arkadi Chipouline, Augustine Urbas We here present the rst unied theory of the response of plasmonic nanoshells assisted by optical gain media. We identify mechanism of plasmonic super-radiance of the aggregate similar to conventional Dicke effect with reduced intraband relaxation bandwidth due to the loss compensation in the system. We demonstrate that mechanism of the total loss compensation leads to the laser resonator type collective resonance state that could cause a stimulated radiative emission. 14:50 : Invited talk Eutectic metamaterial THz waveguides and dynamically tunable modulators M. Massaouti, A. A. Basharin, M. Kafesaki, M. F. Acosta, R. I. Merino, V. M. Orera, E. N. Economou, C. M. Soukoulis , S. Tzortzakis We present and analyze unique phenomena of enhanced THz transmission through a sub-wavelength LiF dielectric rods lattice embedded in an epsilon-near-zero KCl host. Our experimental results in combination with theoretical calculations show that sub-wavelength waveguiding of terahertz radiation is achieved within an alkali-halide eutectic metamaterial as result of the coupling of Mie-resonance modes arisen in the dielectric lattice. 15:10 : Invited talk Optical properties of self-assembled anisotropic plasmonic nanocomposites Clemence Tallet, Kevin Ehrhardt, Julien Vieaud, Zhiqiang Zheng, Olivier Merchiers, Philippe Barois, Yves Borensztein, Marc Warenghem, Ashod Aradian, Virginie Ponsinet We study the relation between structure and optical properties in self-assembled lamellar plasmonic nanocomposites. The nanocomposites are produced by the assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles templated by ordered matrices of block copolymers and have a periodic lamellar structure of period between 50 and 100 nm. Their structure is studied by X-ray scattering and electron microscopy. Their optical properties are determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry and analyzed by appropriately developed effective medium models. Possible applications in metamaterials are discussed. 15:30 : Invited talk Plasmonics for solid state lighting Jaime Gmez-Rivas Developments in light emitting materials have opened the door for white-light LEDs. We have demonstrated that metallic nanoparticles can signicantly improve the performance of efcient dyes (QE=1) employed in white LEDs by measuring a 60-fold enhancement of the emission in certain directions. We use arrays of nanoparticles supporting localized SPPs, which couple through diffracted orders leading to collective plasmonic modes. These modes shape the spectrum of the emitted light and beam most of this emission into small solid angles. 15:50 : Invited talk 3D laser-made nanostructures Maria Farsari We present our most recent work on Direct fs Laser Writing and its applications in Photonics, Metamaterials and Biomedicine. 16:10 : Stretchable and tailored optical metamaterial made by self-assembly Stefano Salvatore, Silvia Vignolini, Sang Soon Oh, Angela Demetriadou, Sebastian Wuestner, Morgan Stek, Ulrich Wiesner, Ortwin Hess, Jeremy John Baumberg, Ullrich Steiner The optical response of this metamaterial is strictly correlated with the structural parameters. We are able to control all the dimensions of this architecture in order to nely tailor the optical properties. Moreover, the continuity of this structure in three dimensions is exploited to obtain a perfectly exible and stretchable metamaterials that paves the way for the practical use of optical metamaterials, which can lead to a variety of large scale applications.

14:30 - 16:30 Room C Session 3A10-META Singularities and broken symmetries of systems with gain and loss structures I Organized by: Henri Benisty and Anatole Lupu Chaired by: Henri Benisty and Anatole Lupu 14:30 : Invited talk Full-vector analysis of photonic gain/loss structures Jiri Ctyroky Photonic waveguide structures with a balance of gain and loss have been mostly analyzed either in a 2D approximation, or by using of the coupled mode theory in which the vectorial character of modal elds is not considered. Here we present results of a vector analysis of gain/loss waveguide structures and show that the existence of a critical gain/loss value, at which the behaviour of the structures is dramatically changed, is retained at least for some modes. 14:50 : Invited talk One way propagation manipulation by complex Parity-Time photonic crystals Minghui Lu, Liang Feng, Yelong Xu, Yanfeng Chen We present our artful design and the experiment implementation of such PT-symmetric CMOS compatible devices in silicon optical chips, which show some unique optical phenomena, such as unidirectional coupler, mode converter and one-way reectionless invisibility. 15:10 : Invited talk Surface plasmon components for parity-time symmetric systems Pierre Berini Passive and active long-range surface plasmon waveguide components are of interest for the implementation of paritytime (PT) symmetric systems. We review recent work on passive integrated elements such as straight waveguides, bends, couplers and Bragg gratings, and on the prospects of incorporating gain in such elements in order to achieve PT symmetric systems. 15:30 : Invited talk Guided-wave devices with xed losses inspired by PT-symmetry and their spectrum singularity Henri Benisty, Anatole Lupu, Aloyse Degiron Guided-wave devices with plasmonic-type xed losses can be adapted to exploit the singular point behavior well known for exact PT symmetric guides. Coupled guides having xed losses and variable gain fail to exhibit a singular point in their eigenvalues if the guides effective indices coincide. We show how to heal this situation and restore singularity by detuning among the guides. We also present a frame inspired by Kogelniks representations of alternate Delta-Beta couplers to usefully account for several congurations. 15:50 : Invited talk Exploring effective PT-symmetric Hamiltonians using metamaterials Ming Kang, Fu Liu, Jensen Li We theoretically investigate the analog of PT-symmetric non-Hermitian quantum mechanical systems using metamaterials, which can provide a exible testing ground for PT-symmetry. We show that spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking can be achieved by exploring the interplay between the near-eld coupling and material absorption or gain. An ideal PT-symmetry can also be established effectively in a passive system. Coherent perfect absorption and amplication are demonstrated as examples. 16:10 : Invited talk Discrete solitons in PT-symmetric networks of optical waveguides Vladimir Konotop, Dmitry Pelinovsky, Dmitry Zezyulin 54
We proove existence of discrete solitons in parity-time (PT-) symmetric lattices, which describe stationary light propagation in networks of waveguides with dissipation and gain. The energy balance between dissipation and gain implies that in the anticontinuum limit the solitons are constructed from elementary PT-symmetric blocks such as dimers, quadrimers, etc. We consider in detail a chain of dimers, analyze bifurcations of discrete solitons and show that the solitons are stable. The approach is illustrated on examples of networks of quadrimers.

A hot-topic is the fabrication of devices whose plasmonic functionalities are also tunable. Several examples are provided here, conrming this possibility: depending on the specic system, the plasmonic tunability can be achieved by applying external electric elds, mechanical stresses or by changing the temperature of the considered sample. 14:50 : A rst-principles study of surface enhanced Raman spectra of molecules adsorbed to plasmonic nanocomposites Martin Thomas, Stefan Mhlig, Erik Hebestreit, Tanja Deckert-Gaudig, Volker Deckert, Philipp Marquetand, Carsten Rockstuhl Surface enhanced Raman scattering is a well established analytical tool to identify the presence, the composition, and the concentration of molecules. However, the particular interplay between various enhancement mechanisms that eventually contribute to the signal is not fully understood yet. Here, we use real time time-dependent density functional theory combined with rigorous electromagnetic simulations to unravel how the chemical and the electromagnetic mechanisms enhance the measurement signal at the important example of para-Nitrothiophenol. 15:10 : Invited talk Bottom-up organisation of metallic nanoparticles for metamaterials applications Thomas Brgi, Alastair Cunningham The means to fabricate both large scale metallic nanoparticle arrays and core shell nanoparticle clusters is discussed. The preparations developed afford high degrees of control, to almost nanometre precision, over important material parameters such as particle size and separation. The optical properties of the structures have been extensively characterised yielding results that show excellent agreement with theory. 15:30 : Invited talk Complex DNA plasmonics Na Liu, B. Q. Ding We demonstrate the realization of three-dimensional plasmonic chiral nanostructures through programmable transformation of gold nanoparticle-dressed DNA origami. The concept of combining the know-how in plasmonics and biology opens a new pathway to the design of smart articial plasmonic nanostructures for answering intriguing biological questions. 15:50 : Invited talk

Liquid crystal based plasmonic metamaterials T. Scharf, Jose Dintinger, Bai-Jai Tang, Georg Mehl, Xiangbing Zeng, Goran Ungar, Stefan Mhlig, Tobias Kienzler, Carsten Rockstuhl The optical properties of metamaterials can be tailored by a choice of materials and the geometry of constituents as well as their orientation on different length scales. In our contribution we study composite plasmonic metamaterials containing resonant metallic nanoparticles that show organization. The non-conventional properties derive from a selforganization of nanoparticles on short distance by mesogens that form liquid crystals. We compare the properties of such materials with other model systems containing organized nanoparticles. 16:10 : Invited talk 3-dimensional arrays of silver nanoparticles: Bottom-up fabrication and optical properties Philippe Barois, Ludivine Malassis, Pascal Mass, Mona Treguer-Delapierre, Stphane Mornet Meta-atoms constituted of silver nanoparticles are self-assembled in 2D and 3D arrays. A ne control of the plasmonic coupling is obtained by encapsulation of the particles in a silica shell. The optical response of the lms exhibits a sharp collective plasmon band which is blue-shifted and narrower than the absorption band of the particles in solution. The inuence of the shell thickness is discussed. Values of the refractive index lower than 1 are obtained for moderate fraction of silver.
14:30 - 16:30 Room E Session 3A12-META Plasmonic antennas, lenses and metasurfaces II Organized by: Tahsin Akalin Chaired by: Tahsin Akalin 14:30 : Invited talk Optical wireless interconnect network with plasmonic antenna Min Qiu The existing optical waveguide interconnects will unavoidably lead to complicated topology and crossover issues with increasing crosstalk noise and cost, when the number of cores on a single chip may be hundreds or thousands in the coming future. Here we propose an optical wireless interconnect network by studying the unique properties of optical nanoantennas and suggesting their potential and advantages to be used in on-chip communication. Results show the signal transmission of optical wireless interconnects may outperform the plasmonic waveguides and support a broadbandwidth broadcast communication mode among cores which could further reduce the total power dissipation expended on a chip. 14:50 : Invited talk Parallel Plate Lens for Terahertz Wave Band Takehito Suzuki, Hiroki Yonamine, Takuya Konno, John C. Young, Keisuke Takano, Masanori Hangyo This paper presents the proposal and analysis of a parallel plate lens for the terahertz wave band. The full wave analysis at a design frequency of 0.5 THz is performed by Ansys HFSS. The light focusing is veried by the analysis. 15:10 : Invited talk Bullseye structure and THz dipole detector Ajay Nahata Bullseye structure and THz dipole detector. 15:30 : Invited talk

Beaskoetxea, M. Navarro-Cia, I. Arnedo, M. Sorolla In this work we describe several at antenna prototypes working at millimeter-waves and terahertz frequencies. The design principle is based on the extraordinary transmission resonance that happens in at metallic planes with narrow apertures anked by a periodic structure. 16:10 : Invited talk Terahertz radiation from meta-atom-loaded photoconductive antennas Keisuke Takano, Tsubasa Nishida, Boyoung Kang, Hirofumi Sasaki, Fumiaki Miyamaru, Mituso W. Takeda, Willie Padilla, Masanori Hangyo, Tahsin Akalin Split-ring resonators (SRR) are one of the most popular meta-atoms used in designing the effective permeability of metamaterials. The SRR is composed of metallic rings with gaps, and the metal ring and gaps determine the total inductance and capacitance, respectively.
14:30 - 16:30 Room F Session 3A13-META Acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals Organized by: Johan Christensen and Vicent Romero Garca Chaired by: Vicent Romero Garca 14:30 : Invited talk Dissipative phononic materials: mathematical models and physical phenomena Mahmoud I. Hussein, Michael J. Frazier We present rigorous formulations for the treatment of viscous and viscoelastic damping in the analysis of elastic wave propagation in phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials. For simplicity, we consider mass-spring-dashpot models and obtain exact formulae for the frequency and damping factor band structures. Our analysis sheds light on the effects of these two types of damping on the dispersive characteristics in the presence of Bragg scattering or local resonance. 14:50 : Acoustic drag force Shengjun Xu, Chunyin Qiu, Zhengyou Liu Acoustic drag force can be realized simply using two crossed plane waves in our work. Calculating results manifest that a hexane drop in water solutions can be pulled backward. We found that interference effects between the two cross plane waves play an important role for pulling force. Particle properties for drag force are also discussed. The work may be helpful for particle manipulation. 15:10 : Heuristic homogenization to overcome the homogenization limit of the effective parameters of two dimensional Sonic crystal slabs Jean Philippe Groby, Vincent Tournat, Vicent Romero-Garca, Olga Umnova A heuristic homogenization procedure to determine the effective properties of sonic crystal slabs is proposed in this
57
work. The method shows a frequency range of validity which largely exceeds that of the classical procedures obtaining the effective properties of the system even inside the band gap. In this range of frequencies the effective wave number matches with both the real and imaginary parts of the band structure obtained using the Plane Wave Expansion method. 15:30 : Anisotropic versions of pentamode structures: Towards transformation elastodynamics Robert Schittny, Muamer Kadic, Tiemo Bckmann, Martin Wegener Pentamode metamaterials are articial structures which - despite being solids - approximately resemble the mechanical properties of a liquid, having a nite bulk but vanishing shear modulus. Anisotropic versions of these structures are a promising candidate for applications in transformation-elastodynamics. We theoretically discuss possibilities for introducing anisotropy into three-dimensional pentamode structures and show examples of corresponding fabricated macroas well as microstructures. 15:50 : Study of thermal effects properties on the one- dimensional phononic band gap structures Arafa H. Aly, Ahmed Mehaney, Ehab Abdel Rahman In this work, we have introduced a comprehensive study of the stop-band/pass-band dispersive behavior of 1D phononic crystals. We have treated the propagation and localization of elastic (in-plane) waves incident normally to perfect binary phononic crystals. Based on the transfer matrix method and Bloch theory, the reection coefcients are calculated and plotted for the in-plane waves. We have studied the effect of temperature on the phononic band gaps for the in-plane waves. These results can be useful in using phononic crystals as temperature sensor materials. 16:10 : On the feasibility of a 2D acoustic cloak using layers of elastic materials Ccile Dutrion, Frank Simon This paper examines the possibility of creating an acoustic cloak using a multilayered elastic cylindrical shell to eliminate the acoustic eld scattered from a rigid cylinder impinged by plane waves. This scattered eld is calculated by a semianalytical code and depends on the dimensional and mechanical characteristics of the elastic layers. Optimization by genetic algorithm is led to determine the characteristics of the layers minimizing the scattering. Realizable elastic coatings leading to scattering reduction are eventually proposed.

P1: Nano-aperture design to enhance optical transmission using the shape optimization procedure Heeseung Lim, Namjoon Heo, Jae Seok Choi, Jeonghoon Yoo This study suggests a systematic design approach of a nano-aperture for the purpose of improving optical transmission by adopting the phase eld method based shape optimization procedure using an Allen-Cahn equation. Through the design process, we have designed an unprecedented form of the aperture and compared its performance was with traditional shapes. P2: Experimental demonstration of evanescent waves enhancement inside wire metamaterial slab Alexey P. Slobozhanyuk, Irina V. Melchakova, Pavel Belov Being motivated by theoretical proposal of evanescent waves enhancement inside wire medium slab, we provide an experimental verication of this phenomenon in the microwave frequency range. The enhancement is originated by resonant pumping of standing waves inside the wire medium. Excellent agreement between the experimental data and numerical results is found. P3: Axisymmetric periodic systems for beam forming in acoustics Alejandro Cebrecos, Vicent Romero-Garca, Rubn Pic, Victor Snchez-Morcillo, Luis Miguel Garcia-Raf, Juan Vicente Snchez-Prez 58
Numerical and experimental evidences of the advantages of axisymmetric systems made of concentric toroidal rigid scatterers embedded in air for beam forming in acoustics are reported in this work. Several effects as focusing, beam forming, spatial ltering and frequency ltering are observed and discussed in this work. The structure has been designed for the audible frequencies, however the results are independent of the scale, therefore the system can be redened for the ultrasound regime. P4: Fabrication of amorphous-diamond photonic crystals and their optical properties Yafeng Zhang, Biqin Dong, Feng Liu, Xiaohan Liu, Jian Zi We successfully fabricate SiO2, ZnO, and TiO2 amorphous-diamond photonic crystals (ADPCs) that have optical response in the visible regime by using sol-gel and atomic layer deposition (ALD) methods based on templates of parrot feather barbs. We nd that SiO2, ZnO, and TiO2 ADPCs retain amorphous-diamond structures and display bright structural colors. P5: Surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy in silver nanowire-based transparent lms R. Capasso, M. Pannico, P. Musto, W. Shen, W. Song, J. Zhou, P. Mormile, L. Petti Silver nanowires can exhibit unique optical properties known as localized surface plasmon resonance and surface enhanced Raman scattering. An effective and facile method for the fabrication of a SERS-active lm with Silver NWs is proposed by drop casting of Silver NWs on glass with ethanol as the inducer. Ag NWs exhibit very efcient Raman scattering enhancement estimated using pMA as probe molecule which is attributed to the coupling electromagnetic SERS enhancement mechanism with additional localization eld within Silver NWs. P6: Study on PL enhancement of GaAs/InGaAs quantum well emission by gold nanoparticle arrays Hongwei Gao, Jinghua Teng, Soo Jin Chua, Ning Xiang Enhancement of photoluminescence (PL) intensity from InGaAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) is achieved experimentally by coupling surface plasmon (SP) resonance with QW emission. The SP resonance is generated by fabricating a periodic Au nanodisk arrays and a thin spacer layer of SiO2 between Au nanodisk and GaAs surface. 4.16-fold QW PL enhancement is observed. Theoretical simulations conrm that the PL emission is enhanced by surface plasmon coupling. P7: Sensitivity enhancement in dielectric two layers surface plasmon sensor Fatima Zohra Benkabou, Malika Chikhi This paper presents a theoretical investigation of sensitivity enhancement of surface plasmon sensor with two additional dielectric layers of Si/SiO2, Si/MgO, and Si/TiO2 over silver metal layer, respectively. P8: Magnetoplasmonic management of electromagnetic near-eld Andrey Kalish, Vladimir Belotelov, Stepan Andreev, Vladimir Tarakanov, Anatoly Zvezdin In the paper a novel phenomenon is investigated that is magnetic management of plasmon tunnelling through a metallic lm. A theory is developed and it is shown that the tunnelling efciency and tunnelling length are sensitive to magnetization. Also the magnetoplasmonic properties in the near eld such as polarization, dispersion and localization are considered. P9: Enhancement spectra of light emission caused by surface plasmon scattering in low-molecular-weight organic materials Syogo Kawasaki, Yuusuke Horikoshi, Akira Yamazaki, Hiroto Kawase, K. Kasahara, Naoki Ikeda, Yoshimasa Sugimoto Surface-plasmon-enhanced light emission spectra in low-molecular-weight organic materials were investigated by changing metals. For the interpretation of the spectra, the inuence of an inhomogeneously broadened excited state present in disordered organic materials, and a intermolecular distance have to be taken into account. A peak wavelength shift which appeared in the enhancement spectra suggests some energy shift mechanism, such as Frster energy transfer, related closely to it. P10: Effect of ordered and disordered gold nanoporosity on dispersion control of propagating surface plasmons Neha Sardana, Sven Schlenker, Carsten Reinhardt, Jrg Schilling

Spongy bi-continuous network and hexagonally ordered nanopores in gold are prepared by dealloying and evaporation of Au on nanoporous templates respectively. Their optical properties, specically tuning surface Plasmon (SP) resonances connected with effective dielectric constant of the lms,is investigated using angular resolved reection measurements. Experimentally determined dispersion relation of the SPs on the gold/air interfaces is compared by effective medium theory. Ohmic and scattering losses leading to the attenuation of the SPs at surface are studied using leakage radiation microscopy. P11: Optical forces induced by metal nanoparticle clusters Jordi Sancho-Parramon, Salvador Bosch The strong eld localization generated between closely placed metal particles excited by radiation induces intense forces on small polarizable objects. In this study we investigated the optical forces that can be generated in the vicinity of metal nanoparticle clusters using fully electrodynamic numerical simulations. The inuence of the cluster conguration (material, numer of particles and geometrical arrangement) as well as the excitation parameters (polarization distribution and degree of focusing) is investigated. P12: Nanophotonics of Vanadium Dioxide Coatings for Smart Window Applications Ghouwaa Philander, M. Maaza, E. Iwuoha Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) is a smart material which exhibits a phase transition at a temperature of 68 C in its pure and single crystalline form. The phase transition from the monoclinic semi-conducting form to the tetragonal metallic (rutile) form is also accompanied by a change in the optical properties of VO2. This research involves the development of a doped VO2 coating with enhanced properties for use in smart window applications. P13: Atomistic approach for simulating plasmons in nanostructures Arto Sakko, Tuomas Rossi, Jussi Enkovaara, Risto Nieminen Electronic structure calculations are used to study quantum mechanical effects behind the optical properties of small nanoscale (0-10 nm) systems. The optical response of metal nanostructures and graphene nanoakes is shown to depend on their precise composition. Open-source computer code GPAW is used for the simulations, which can be done for systems of thousands of electrons, and which automatically include quantum effects such as tunneling, nonlocal response, and molecular orbital hybridization. P14: Surface enhancement raman scattering under external electric eld by composited nanogrid and nanopartical Y. J. Wang, W. J. Sun, Xiaoxiang Xia, Zhe Liu, Junjie Li, Haifang Yang, Changzhi Gu An oscillating and gate voltage were separately applied during the SERS measurement by introducing interdigitated electrodes and back-gate. The response of the Raman peak intensity to the applied eld shows evident dependence on the intensity and frequency of external electric eld, which reveals a new direction for fabricating the controllable SERS P15: Surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy of CBP-molecules based on nano-sized gaps Christian Huck, Frank Neubrech, Andrea Toma, David Gerbert, Thomas Hrtling, Enzo Di Fabrizio, Annemarie Pucci We report on an increased infrared vibrational signal enhancement in nanoantenna-assisted surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy (SEIRS) induced by inter-particle near-eld coupling. Individual nanoantenna dimers with gaps sizes down to 4nm were prepared by electron beam lithography and subsequent photochemical metal deposition. Afterwards the dimers were covered with a thin layer of CBP acting as a near-eld probe. Our experiments show an increasing vibrational signal enhancement for decreasing gap sizes demonstrating the additional enhancement induced by nanometersized gaps. P16: Optical property of double-layered metal lms with periodic structure Mohamed Boutria, Rachid Oussaid This paper reports optical property of double-layered metal lms with periodic structure, which works as a half-wave plate by itself. The advantage of this structure is that it can tune the rotation angle of optical activity, with high transmittance, by changing the relative angle of two lms. We analyze the optical property of the structure using numerical calculation with conventional transfer matrix method and FDTD method. The optical rotation is accompanied by a
60
transmission up to 80 percent. P17: Imaging plasmon modes over isolated metal nanoparticle: A combined approach using electron microscopy and FDTD simulation Pabitra Das, Tapas Kumar Chini We study localized surface plasmon (LSP) modes on individual gold nanoparticles with various shape and size by Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy and imaging. We experimentally resolve distinct LSP modes in the far-eld radiation acquired via CL. Detail analysis using FDTD simulation helps us to identify the origin of the plasmon modes.

In this talk we will overview fundamentals and applications of anisotropic plasmonic metamaterials for controlling both intensity and polarization of light, including active control with temperature, loss/gain-induced anisotropy and magneto-optical properties.

P1: Light scattering by scatters of topological insulator Lixin Ge, Tianrong Zhan, Dezhuan Han, Xiaohan Liu, Jian Zi We study theoretically Rayleigh and Mie scatterings by scatters of topological insulators (TIs). For both Rayleigh and Mie scattering, the pattern and polarization of scattered light differs considerably from those in scatters of conventional insulators, resulting from the topological magneto-electric effect.

P2: Exact numeric resolution of the system globally non linear Schrodinger Poisson in order to study the inuence of different technological parameters on the performance of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction Ilhem Bouneb, M. Marir Benabbas, A. Houam, F. Kerrour This work investigates an approach for contributing to the development of a numerical model based on physical and numerical modelling of the potential at the interface of a heterostructure in AlGaAs/GaAs. We elaborate a calculus, using projective methods permit the Hamiltonian integration using Green functions in the equation of Schrdinger, for a rigorous resolution auto coherent with the equation of Poisson. P3: Metal island lm based structures for sensing using spectrophotometry and ellipsometry Vesna Janicki, Ordi Sancho-Parramon, Salvador Bosch, Hrvoje Zorc Metal island lms (MIF) are good candidates for sensors due to environment refractive index sensitive localized surface plasmon resonance. The strong near eld enhancement in the vicinity of the island surface can be even higher if metal layer (ML) is placed close to MIF. Structures containing MIF with and without ML are prepared and sensitivities of spectrophotometric and ellipsometric features of measurements compared. It is shown that simple MIF is preferable for ellipsometric and including ML for spectrophotometric sensing. P4: Optical responses of three dimensional plasmonic nanoantenna arrays Xiaoxiang Xia, Zhe Liu, Junjie Li, Haifang Yang, Baogang Quan, Changzhi Gu Nanoantenna metamaterial can be used for many important applications in photonics and optoelectronics. However, most of previous nanoantenna structures are simple wires or rods due to the limitation of nanofabrication. In this work, hexagonal three dimensional gold nanoantenna arrays were fabricated. The optical responses of such nanoantenna arrays were systematic studied by varying the incidence polarization, geometry parameters of nanoantenna structure and dielectric-loads. It would improve the manipulation ability of nanoantenna with more freedom and exibility. P5: Coupling of surface plasmon with GaAs/InGaAs quantum Well emission by random gold nanoparticle arrays Hongwei Gao, Jinghua Teng, Soo Jin Chua, Ning Xiang Coupling effect of surface plasmon (SP) with InGaAs/GaAs QW emission is demonstrated experimentally. The SP resonance is generated by fabricating a random Au nanodisk arrays on InGaAs/GaAs QW surface. The thickness of cap layer of QW is 20 nm. More than 2-fold QW PL enhancement is observed. Theoretical simulations conrm that the PL emission is enhanced by surface plasmon coupling. P6: Design, fabrication and characterization of a new transparent conductor based on plasmonic nanocomposite Mehdi Keshavarz Hedayati, Mojtaba Javaherirahim, Thomas Strunskus, Franz Faupel, Mady Elbahri Here in this work, we showed fabrication and characterization of a transparent conductor based on a plasmonic nanocomposite out of metallic particles smaller than 5 nanometers and thin metallic lm showing a wide-band transparency in visible spectrum. Despite a little loss in blue part of spectrum, the particles tune the dielectric of the hosting matrix and provide high optical transparency (compared to the bare lm) demonstrating an plasmonic TC which can leverage using of ultra-small nanostructure for photovoltaic applications.

Okasha The transmission (T) and reection(R) spectra of the amorphous Se80Ge20-xInx where x =5, 10 and 15 before and after light exposure for time period 0, 1, 3 and 6hours were recorded. Photodarkening of the irradiated thin lms were observed. The maxima of (T) and minima of (R) were shift to lower photon energies as exposure time increases from 0 to 3hr, in the visible regions of light. P10: Single-side-hydrogenated graphene: Density functional theory predictions Sergey Gusarov, Andriy Kovalenko Hydrogenation has proven to be an effective tool to open the band gap of graphene. In the present density functional study, we demonstrate that single-side-hydrogenated graphene is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 1.35 eV. We show that its electronic structure and lattice characteristics are substantially different from those of graphene, graphone, or graphane. P11: Electrodynamics of metal-dielectric layers Maksym Barabash Two-dimensional arrays (2D) of gold nanoparticles placed quasi-heterogeneously on the surface of an ordered dielectric medium of hexagonal type were studied. The ordered the dielectric medium is a composite based on polyepoxypropylcarbazole (PEPC) with refractive index 1.55, thickness of 0.8-1.0 mm. The lm surface was deformed in an electrographic process, with the creation of intereference pattern in multibeam holography. P12: Silicon nanowire photodetector enhanced by a bow-tie antenna Gordana Klaric Felic, E. Skadas In this paper we investigate how a bow-tie dipole antenna can be exploited to conne the radiated power into a silicon nanowire. Using principle of eld enhancement by metal antenna structures a subwavelength metal-semiconductormetal detector can be built. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the bow-tie antenna to enhance the power absorption in a silicon nanowire.

In contrast to previous SRR-based displacement sensors, the proposed sensor benets from a high dynamic range limit and since the displacement sensing is based on the shift in the resonance frequency, rather than change in the depth of resonance, the proposed sensor benets from a higher immunity to noise. 09:50 : Recongurable complementary triangular split ring resonator G. S. Madhusudan, K. R. S. Ravikumar, D. Sriramkumar, S. Prasad, K. Sridhar, P. H. Rao Recongurable CTSRR loaded in groundplane of microstrip line is presented. Concept of rotated-ring and multiple-splits are implemented to dynamically tune its resonantfrequency. Recongurability is realized using three PINdiodes whose controlled by external biasing circuit. CTSRR is initially designed for 900MHz and bandnotch of -15.91dB is obtained. By creating additional metalbridge at 0degree, resonantfrequency is tuned to 1505MHz. On rotating this metalbridge to 120 and 240degree positions, resonantfrequency is tuned to 1072MHz and 1113MHz, respectively. Prototype is tested, results are analyzed. 10:10 : Dual band D-CRLH/CRLH rat race coupler with improved performances - a study Iulia Andreea Mocanu, Gheorghe Ioan Sajin Two ways of obtaining a hybrid rat-race coupler using D-CRLH and CRLH transmission lines are proposed and investigated. The rst design method uses relations for asymmetrical D-CRLH and CRLH unit cells, meanwhile the second design method requires symmetrical cells which act only as quarter wavelength transmission lines at the two imposed frequencies. The rst method implies a larger number of cells, rather than only one cell as in the case of the second method.
