Evolution of Collective, Radiative Plasmon Coupling in Confined, Soft Colloidal Films
Plasmon resonance coupling is continuously monitored during the uniaxial manipulation of a 2‐dimensional soft colloidal film containing hexagonally arranged spherical gold nanocrystals. This is realized by the in situ spectroscopic investigation of a monolayer of plasmonic core‐shell microgels confined at the air/water interface that is compressed in a

Anisotropic Second‐ and Third‐Harmonic Hermite–Gaussian Beam Generation with NbOI2 Holograms
Anisotropic second‐ and third‐harmonic Hermite–Gaussian (HG) beam generation is demonstrated with ultrathin NbOI2 grating holograms to produce the nonlinear HG01 and HG10 modes with high anisotropy ratios. The relative magnitudes of the second‐ and third‐order nonlinear susceptibility tensor elements of NbOI2 crystal are extracted. These demonstrations
