Welcome to the NanoPhotonics and Near-field Optics Group
These pages give an overview of our current research. The work in the group is centered around nanophotonics. This includes a variety of topics, ranging from optical effects induced by dipole-dipole interactions occurring over atomic length scales to near-field optical interactions taking place over distances of several tens of nanometers.
Active projects include manipulation of surface plasmon dispersion in nanoscale thin film systems, the enhancement of erbium excitation in semiconductor nanocrystal doped oxides, the enhancement of optical nonlinearities using plasmon resonances, and more. Additional information on our work can be found in the research section and in this brief introduction to our group. Several presentations about our work can be viewed online in the talks section. For an extensive list of nanoscience related research at UCF, see the links section.
