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 the near field measurement of THz fields close to resonant rods. In this manuscript we obtain the three near-field components using microstructured photoconductive antennas. The manuscript has been published in Applied Physics Letters Photonics and can be found here: Full vectorial mapping of the complex electric near-fields of THz resonators , APL…

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…
