Seminar on
Modern Optics and Spectroscopy

Optoplasmonic Engineering of light-matter interactions
Hongkun Park,
Harvard University
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
12:00 – 1:00 p.m.

Manipulating light-matter interactions at the nanoscale has broad implications for many research areas, ranging from spectroscopy and sensing to communications and quantum information processing. In this presentation, I will discuss our research efforts to develop a general strategy for engineering light-matter interaction using nanoscale plasmonic and optoelectronic interfaces. Topics that will be discussed include (1) a cavity-free, broadband approach for engineering photon-emitter interactions via sub-wavelength plasmon confinement in metallic nanowires, (2) the realization of “dark” optoplasmonic circuit elements that are based on near-field electrical generation and detection of optical plasmons, and (3) the deterministic coupling between quantum emitters and photonic and plasmonic crystal cavities
