Theoretical and Computational Nanophotonics and Plasmonics
Embedded Files
We are a theoretical group conducting research in the exciting field of Nanophotonics and Plasmonics. Using electrodynamic calculations and a large variety of computational methods (such as FDTD, DDA, BEM, FEM, and Mie theory), we aim at investigating, designing, and understanding the optical properties of plasmonic-based, and nanophotonic systems. Our expertise goes from the modeling of electron energy-loss (EELS), cathodoluminescence (CL), optical, and surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectroscopies to the investigation of coupling mechanisms between elementary excitations (such as plasmon-exciton, plasmon-phonon, magneto-plasmon...) in hybrid nanostructures.

Sept. 25 - New Publication
Our recent work on Finite-Size Effects in Periodic Silver Nanoparticle Arrays Probed by Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy Simulations has just been published in ACS Photonics.
This project had started years ago (circa 2020) and was led by Rudin Kraja who was an undergraduate student at that time. The draft of the paper was left unfinished when Rudin left our group in 2022 to pursue his graduate education. Alex Ferere (graduate student) and Jordan Council (undergraduate student) recently added some very nice plasmon hybridization theory results to complement Rudin's EELS simulations work and get the paper through the finish line.
Research is not linear and good research takes time. It is very rewarding to see this project coming to an end and being published in an excellent, high-impact journal like #ACSPhotonics.
Sept. 8 - Conference
Dr. Large has presented his research on Acousto-Plasmonics at the 18th International Conference on Near-field Optics, Nanophotonics, and Related Techniques (NFO-18), which was held in Brno, Czechia last week.
Aug. 8 - Summer Research
Dr. Large has just returned from an intense 10 weeks research visit at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. For this second summer at NRL, Dr. Large has continued collaborations with Drs. Igor Vurgaftman (Optical Science Division, Code 5613), Daniel Ratchford (Chemistry Division, Code 6178), and Sarah Brittman (Electronics Science & Technology Division, Code 6810).
