This seminar will present the current nanoplasmonics research portfolio at
Imperial College London, focusing both on fundamental aspects of optical
nanocavity design, and applications in photovoltaics and biological sensing.
Nanocavities based on Fano resonances and geometrical singularities allow
control over the radiative properties, creating an either spectrally sharp or
a broadband response. It will be shown that electron energy loss spectroscopy
is a tool of choice for the determination of the full mode spectrum of such
plasmonic nanocavities. The second part of the seminar will focus on more
applied work, particularly plasmon-enhanced solar cells and forays into
biochemical sensing.
