Antenna-based near-field optical microscopy and spectroscopy makes use of locally enhanced optical fields created near laser-irradiated metal nanostructures acting as local probes. Using...

Exciton energy transfer in pairs of single-walled carbon nanotubes (2008)

Qian, Huihong, Georgi, Carsten, Anderson, Neil, Green, Alexander A., Hersam, Mark C., Novotny, Lukas, ...

We studied the exciton energy transfer in pairs of semiconducting nanotubes using high-resolution optical microscopy and spectroscopy on the nanoscale. Photoluminescence from large band gap nanotubes...

Optical Measurement of the Phase-Breaking Length in Graphene (2008)

Cancado, Luiz Gustavo, Beams, Ryan, Novotny, Lukas

This paper reports the experimental determination of the phase-breaking length L of conduction electrons in graphene using Raman spectroscopy. Based on the double-resonance model, we extract L from...

Reversible polarization control of single photon emission (2008)

Moerland, Robert J., Taminiau, Tim H., Novotny, Lukas, Van Hulst, Niek F., Kuipers, Laurens

We present reversible and a-prior! control of the polarization of a photon emitted by a single molecule by introducing a nanoscale metal object in its near field. It is experimentally shown that,...

Reversible Polarization Control of Single Photon Emission (2008)

We present reversible and a-priori control of the polarization of a photon emitted by a single molecule by introducing a nanoscale metal object in its near field. It is experimentally shown that,...

Principles of nano-optics (2006)

Lukas Novotny, Bert Hecht

.. it was almost worth the climb (B.B. Goldberg) ii PREFACE Why should we care about nano-optics? For the same reason as we care for optics! The foundations of many fields of the contemporary...

Reflected image of a strongly focused spot (2001)

Lukas Novotny, Robert D. Grober, Khaled Karrai

We describe the reflection of a strongly focused beam from an interface between two dielectric media. If the beam is incident from the optically denser medium, the image generated by the reflected...

A Novel Immobilization Method for Single Protein spFRET Studies

Pal, Prithwish, Lesoine, John F., Lieb, M. Andreas, Novotny, Lukas, Knauf, Philip A.

We have developed a new method for immobilization of single proteins by utilizing streptavidin-biotin and protein L-antibody interactions on glass coverslips coated with polyethylene glycol. The...
