On Optical Antennas, Quantum Emitters and Biological Nanoparticles: Understanding and Exploiting Efficient Light-Matter Interaction: Nano Seminar series

Light-matter interaction at the nanometer scale lies at the heart of elementary optical processes such as absorption, emission, or scattering. In this presentation, we shall consider the intrinsic scattering cross section of a nano-object and discuss 1) its implications for sensitive fluorescence-free detection, and 2) ways to enhance the optical response of a nano-object by using antennas....
