Jaime Gómez Rivas has been awarded with a NWO Vici-grant. In this video he explains what he is going to do with the 1.5 million euro grant: improving the charge transport in materials by transferring properties of light to those materials. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bT9PbzjqYg
Accepted manuscript in Applied Physics Letters on THz microscopy of near-field coupled metallic resonators which exhibit electromagnetically induced transparency. In this work we map out electric near-fields in amplitude and phase, corresponding to the hybrid modes generated through near-field coupling between two resonant gold scatterers. The manuscript can be found at the following link: http://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.4978031
February 17th 2017 Jaime Gómez Rivas, group leader at DIFFER and professor at the Applied Physics faculty of Eindhoven University of Technology, has won one of the 34 prestigious Vici grants of NWO, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. The 1.5 million euro Vici grants is intended for premier scientists in their fields, to set…

Accepted manuscript on the first realization of plasmon-exciton polariton lasing, in a periodic array of metallic nanoparticles coupled to organic emitters. The measured lasing thresholds are comparable to those measured in high-Q microcavity systems, only now in a fully open and planar configuration. This result presents an important first step towards organic polaritonics exploiting the flexibility…

Accepted manuscript on THz diffraction induced transparency in arrays of detuned resonators. In this manuscript we demonstrate that a periodic array of resonant rods with detuned frequencies can lead to an almost complete suppression of the extinction (nearly 100% transmission) and to a large group velocity reduction. We have termed this phenomenon Diffraction Induced Transparency.…

Accepted manuscript on the modification of the emission characteristics of thin layers of dye molecules coupled to arrays of metallic nanoparticles. In this manuscript we show how the emission can couple to different modes by positioning the layer at defined heights relative to the array. The manuscript has been published in Physical Review B and…
