    Welcome to the home page of the Surface Photonics group. This group is part of the Center for Nanophotonics at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) and it is stationed in the Philips Research Laboratories at the High-Tech Campus in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). One of the objectives of the group is to mediate the knowledge transfer between the Centre for Nanophotonics and Philips Research. The group Surface Photonics investigates the interaction of light with nanostructures surfaces. The goal of this research is to enhance light-matter interactions at subwavelength scales, to actively control these interactions and to employ them for the improvement of the efficiency of solar cells, optical sensors and light emitting devices.

    The joint AMOLF/Philips group focuses on four related topics:

    1. Optical properties of semiconductor nanowires.
    2. Complex metallic structures for enhanced, polarized and directional emission of light sources coupled to surface plasmon polaritons.
    3. THz plasmonics with semiconductors.
    4. Guided modes in thin layers of absorbing materials.
