  Optical nanoantennas are well-known for the confinement of light into nanoscale hot spots, suitable for emission enhancement and sensing applications. Here, we show how control of the antenna dimensions allows tuning ...
• Far-field control of nanoscale hotspots by near-field interference 

  Singh, Anshuman; Hugall, James T.; Calbris, Gaëtan; Hulst, Niek F. van (ACS, 2020-07-31)
  Article

  Optical nanoantennas coherently scatter incident optical radiation, creating a localized electromagnetic near-field imprinted with subwavelength phase distribution, rapidly changing in space. The nanostructuring of phase ...
• Room Temperature Excitation-Emission Spectra of Single LH2 Complexes Show Remarkably Little Variation 

  Gellings, Esther; Cogdell, Richard J.; van Hulst, Niek F. (ACS, 2020-03-06)
  Article
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Excitation spectroscopy gives direct insight into the excited state manifold, energy transfer, transient intermediates, vibrations, and so on. Unfortunately, excitation spectroscopy of single molecules under ambient ...

  Ultrafast Stimulated Emission Microscopy of Single Nanocrystals 

  Piatkowski, Lukasz; Accanto, Nicolò; Calbris, Gaëtan; Christodoulou, Sotirios; Moreels, Iwan; Hulst, Niek F. van (AAAS, 2019-12-06)
  Article
  Open Access

  Single-molecule detection is a powerful method used to distinguish different species and follow time trajectories within the ensemble average. However, such detection capability requires efficient emitters and is prone to ...
• Nanoscale Imaging and Control of hexagonal Boron-Nitride Single Photon Emitters by a Resonant Nano-antenna 

  Palombo Blascetta, Nicola; Liebel, Matz; Lu, Xiaobo; Taniguchi, T; Watanabe, K; Efetov, Dmitri K; Hulst, Niek F. van (ACS, 2020-02-13)
  Article

  Defect centers in two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are drawing attention as single-photon emitters with high photostability at room temperature. With their ultrahigh photon-stability, hBN single-photon emitters ...
• Control of Vibronic Transition Rates by Resonant Single-Molecule-Nanoantenna Coupling 

  Saemisch, Lisa; Liebel, Matz; Hulst, Niek F. van (ACS, 2020-05-13)
  Article

  Isolating strong nanoantenna-molecule interactions by ensemble-level single-molecule detection 

  Saemisch, Lisa; Liebel, Matz; Hulst, Niek F. van (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-01-16)
  Article
  Open Access

  Traditionally, the nanoscale interaction between single photon emitters and plasmonic nanostructures is studied by relying on deterministic, near-perfect, nanoscale-control, either top-down or bottom-up. However, these ...

  Coherent Multiphoton Control of Gallium Phosphide Nanodisk Resonances 

  Remesh, Vikas; Grinblat, Gustavo; Li, Yi; Maier, Stefan A.; Hulst, Niek F. van (ACS, 2019-09-09)
  Article
  Open Access

  High-index dielectric nanoantennas have recently emerged as promising alternatives to plasmonic nanoantennas for concentrating and manipulating light at the nanoscale. For example, gallium phosphide (GaP) nanoantennas ...
