ABSTRACT
Abstract:
Nanophotonics and surface plasmonics has attracted intensive research interests. In my Ph.D. research, I mainly study the interactions between light and nanostructures, and seek for methods to enhance the interaction. This research proposal starts with introductions on nanophotonic and plasmonic theories, followed by four main projects accomplished in my previous study, including a reflective wave plate utilizing gap plasmon modes, extraordinary optical transmission through a waveguide hole, optical trapping using a hole on metal film and plasmonic enhanced optical absorption in solar cells. In additions to theoretical interests, these projects have shown several applications of plasmonics, including sensing, optical trapping and solar cells. A proposal for the possible future research is made at the end.
