Optical techniques are widely used for trapping of particles. One such technique involves the use of passive diffractive optical elements. Recently, a novel passive diffractive optical element, a spiral phase Fresnel zone plate (FZP) was proposed [1]. In this paper, we present an improved version, of the earlier reported element, that will allow for a compact optical configuration for generation of elliptical donut beams. This compact design enables easy insertion of the device into optical trapping experiments for micro level trapping. The proposed multilevel spiral phase FZP can be used for applications such as trapping by illuminating it with a narrow spectral width laser as shown in Fig. 1(a). The simulated 3-D structure of the proposed multilevel spiral phase FZP is shown in Fig. 1(b).

Conventional optical components such as lenses and holograms rely on gradual phase shifts accumulated during light propagation to shape light beam. New degrees of freedom in optical design are attained by introducing in the optical path abrupt phase changes over the scale of the wavelength. In this talk, we will discuss the results presented in [1], where a two-dimensional array of plasmonic resonators in form of V-shape antennas with spatially varying phase response and sub-wavelength separation can imprint such phase discontinuities on propagating light.

Optical nanostructures have the potential to provide useful new functionalities, using materials and fabrication methods that are compatible with standard silicon-based processes. For example, it has been shown that a nanoscale grating coated with a metal layer produces polarization-selective reflectivity (Paeder, 2011 and Paeder et al., 2009), based on the combined effects of form birefringence and a resonant cavity (Tyan et al., 1997). In this work, we adapt this design approach to develop two devices optimized to operate around 1.55 μm wavelength: a polarizing beam splitter, and a polarization-selective reflector. Such devices are of particular interest as they may provide optical properties such as polarization selectivity or enhanced reflectivity using nanostructures compatible with optical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).

Surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (spaser) is a nanoscopic quantum generator of coherent local optical fields with high intensity. We will consider the latest development in the theory of spaser and review the large number of experimental data currently available Nanoplasmonics deals with collective electron dynamics on the surface of metal nanostructures, which arises due to excitations called surface plasmons [1, 2]. The surface plasmons localize and concentrate optical energy in nanoscopic regions creating highly enhanced local optical fields. They undergo ultrafast dynamics with timescales as short as a few hundred attoseconds [3]. We will start with a brief overview of the state of nanoplasmonics and its many applications [2].

We have been developing the molecular tweezers that can retrieve a minute amount of molecules from solution such as DNA. Since the retrieved molecules form a bridge between two tips of tweezers, we can examine their electrical characteristics in atmospheric condition. The bridge also serves as a scaffold for nano particles. Figure 1 shows an example of a retrieved DNA wire modified by palladium nano particles of 3nm in diameter. We have found that the palladium particles enhance the electrical conductivity showing 74Ωcm in resistivity. In addition to electromechanical properties, we are interested in optical characterization of retrieved materials by molecular tweezers. To introduce probing light to tweezers' tips, we propose new molecular tweezers integrated with optical waveguides.
