Plasmonic devices for surface optics and refractive index sensing
In this thesis devices for controlling the flow of surface plasmon polaritons are described. Dielectric and metallic nanostructures were designed for this purpose, and... -
Study of the characteristics of a polarization-controlled beam after transmis...
In this work, we studied the interaction between light with well-defined polarization and two subwavelength structures milled through an opaque metallic film by using... -
Electrical excitation of surface plasmons with a scanning tunneling microscope
For the first time, using a equipment combining a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and an invertedoptical microscope, we excite and directly image STM-excited... -
Study, modelling and realization of diffractive components: Contribution to t...
This thesis is in keeping with the research activities of the optics department of the ENST Bretagne concerning<br />optical information processing functions.... -
Influence of surface plasmons propagation on the coherence of optical systems
This experimental thesis studies effects induced by the spatial extension of surface plasmonpolaritons on the emission properties of organic and inorganic materials....
