Near-Field Optical Forces: Photonics, Plasmonics and the Casimir Effect
(2013-10-08)
The coupling of macroscopic objects via the optical near-field can generate strong attractive and repulsive forces. Here, I explore the static and dynamic optomechanical interactions that take place in a geometry consisting ...
Plasmonic Cavities for Enhanced Spotaneous Emission
(2013-09-30)
The modification of spontaneous emission, i.e. the Purcell effect, with optical cavities has been highly studied over the past 20 years as one of the most important goals for cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED). The ...
