      Nanoantennae show potential for photosynthesis research for two reasons; first by spatially confining light for experiments which require high spatial resolution, and second by enhancing the photon emission of single ...
    • Percolating plasmonic networks for light emission control 

      Gaio, Michele; Castro-Lopez, Marta; Renger, Jan; Hulst, Niek van; Sapienza, Riccardo (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-10-15)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Optical nanoantennas have revolutionised the way we manipulate single photons emitted by individual light sources in a nanostructured photonic environment. Complex plasmonic architectures allow for multiscale light control ...
