Concentrating optical field in an eigenmode with a tiny volume is vitally important for light-matter interactions at the fundamental level and underpins new technologies. In the past decades, researchers have investigated various approaches to shrink light and so far managed to reduce the volume of optical eigenmodes, under the quantum-optical definition, down to several ten nm3. Here we report on the discovery, characterization and engineering of a class of extremely localized eigenmodes that are resonances of atomistic protrusions on a metallic host nanoparticle and feature quantum-optical mode volumes of below 1 nm3. We theoretically demonstrate that these extremely localized modes can be made bright with radiation efficiencies reaching 30% and provide up to 4x10^7 times intensity enhancement. The existence of bright eigenmodes with the volume comparable to a photon emitter foresees exciting new optical physics, such as ultrastrong coupling with single optical emitters, angstrom-resolution optical imaging, and atomic-scale single-molecule photochemistry.

We derive relationships between various types of small misalignments on a triangular Fabry-Perot cavity and associated geometrical eigenmode changes. We focus on the changes of beam spot positions on cavity mirrors, the beam waist position, and its a
ngle. A comparison of analytical and numerical results shows excellent agreement. The results are applicable to any triangular cavity close to an isosceles triangle, with the lengths of two sides much bigger than the other, consisting of a curved mirror and two flat mirrors yielding a waist equally separated from the two flat mirrors. This cavity shape is most commonly used in laser interferometry. The analysis presented here can easily be extended to more generic cavity shapes. The geometrical analysis not only serves as a method of checking a simulation result, but also gives an intuitive and handy tool to visualize the eigenmode of a misaligned triangular cavity.
We present a new method of measuring optical near-fields within ~1 nm of a metal surface, based on rescattering of photoemitted electrons. With this method, we precisely measure the field enhancement factor for tungsten and gold nanotips as a functio
n of tip radius. The agreement with Maxwell simulations is very good. Further simulations yield a field enhancement map for all materials, which shows that optical near-fields at nanotips are governed by a geometric effect under most conditions, while plasmon resonances play only a minor role. Last, we consider the implications of our results on quantum mechanical effects near the surface of nanostructures and discuss features of quantum plasmonics.
We report a very high precision interferometric sensor with resolution up to ~{lambda}/1024, exploiting hollow photonic bandgap waveguide-based geometry for the first time. Here sensing has been measured by a complete switching in the direction of th
e outgoing beam, owing to transverse momentum oscillation phenomena. Using a 1.32 {mu}m source and core-width of 7.25 {mu}m, a complete switching cycle is obtained even due to a small change of ~1 nm in the core-width. Using hollow-core photonic bandgap waveguide, Talbot effect, revivals of the initial phase, oscillation in the transverse momentum along with multi-mode interference served as the backbone of the design. The ultra-sensitive multi-mode interferometric sensor based on photonic crystals will certainly open up a paradigm shift in interferometer-based sensing technologies toward device-level applications in photonic sensing/switching and related precision measurement systems.
Special features of the optical-vortex (OV) beams generated by thick holographic elements (HE) with embedded phase singularity are considered theoretically. The volume HE structure is based on the 3D pattern of interference between an OV beam and a s
tandard reference wave with regular wavefront. The incident beam diffraction is described within the framework of a linear single-scattering model in which the volume HE is represented by a set of parallel thin layers with the fork holographic structure. An explicit integral expression is derived for the complex amplitude distribution of the diffracted paraxial beam with OV. The numerical analysis demonstrates that the HE thickness may essentially influence not only selectivity and efficiency of the OV beam generation but also the amplitude and phase profile of the diffracted beam as well as regularities of its propagation. We have studied the generated OV morphology and laws of its evolution; in particular, the possibility of obtaining a circularly symmetric OV beam regardless of the diffraction angle is revealed.
We present a versatile mid-infrared frequency comb spectroscopy system based on a doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator tunable in the 3-5.4 {mu}m range and two detection methods, a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) and a Vernier spectrome
ter. Using the FTS with a multipass cell we measure high-precision broadband absorption spectra of CH$_4$ and NO at ~3.3 {mu}m and ~5.2 {mu}m, respectively, and of atmospheric species (CH$_4$, CO, CO$_2$ and H$_2$O) in air in the signal and idler wavelength range. The figure of merit of the system is on the order of 10$^{-8}$ cm$^{-1}$ Hz$^{-1/2}$ per spectral element, and multiline fitting yields minimum detectable concentrations of 10-20 ppb Hz$^{-1/2}$ for CH$_4$, NO and CO. For the first time in the mid-infrared, we perform continuous-filtering Vernier spectroscopy using a low finesse enhancement cavity, a grating and a single detector, and measure the absorption spectrum of CH$_4$ and H$_2$O in ambient air at ~3.3 {mu}m.
