Accepted manuscript in ACS Photonics
In this manuscript we show that surface lattice resonances arising from different in-plane diffraction orders in the lattice can couple with molecular excitons, leading to plasmon-exciton-polaritons with distinct dispersion and thus different group velocities. This manuscript is part of the special issue on strong coupling that resulted from the workshop SCOM 2016.
Gabriel Lozano wins the Junior Researcher Physics prize of the Spanish Royal Society of Science
The prize was given for his “unique capacity to study fundamental physical phenomena at the highest level, giving rise to remarkable results and the ability of obtaining relevant applications from his research”. Gabriel was a postdoc in our group at AMOLF and Philips from 2011 until 2014. During this period he investigated the application of…

Transferring light properties to materials (Video)
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
Publication on near-field microscopy of coupled scatterers at THz frequencies
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
