2D-Photonic crystal (PC) structures have enabled the fabrication of a wide variety of nanophotonic components. In perfect PCs, the exploitation of the enhanced local...

Within the quick nano-fabrication techniques evolution and the increasing needs in low space and energy opto-electronic functions on-chip integration, studies and...

The field of plasmonics is experiencing a rapid development, due to the interest in studying the behavior of light at the nanometer scale. Key ingredients of plasmonics...

During this PhD thesis, two original microscopes combining an innovative contrast related to THz frequencies (from 0,1 to 10 THz) with the super-resolvent techniques...

We have reported the optical properties of isolated gold nanowires and of nanowire arrays. Despite the advantages gold has to offer as it is less sensitive to...
