Nanophotonics devices for thermal emission

plasma polariton de surface; Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP)

Transverse polarized electromagnetic field mode, which propagates at a metal-dielectric interface and is evanescent in both media.

Moyen InfraRouge (MIR); mid infrared

Spectral bandwidth between 3 and 8 µm.

permittivity close to zero; Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ)

Spectral band in which the real part of the material's permittivity is close to zero.

Oscillateur Paramétrique Optique (OPO); optical parametric oscillator

Coherent, monochromatic light source based on nonlinear conversion of a pump laser source.

Fabry-Pérot resonator

Resonator similar to the Fabry-Pérot interferometer (two semi-reflecting plates)....
