Extraordinary optical transmission through sub-wavelength hole arrays
- T. Ebbesen, H. J. Lezec, H. Ghaemi, T. Thio, P. Wolff
- Materials Science, Physics
- Nature
- 12 February 1998
The desire to use and control photons in a manner analogous to the control of electrons in solids has inspired great interest in such topics as the localization of light, microcavity quantum… Expand
Surface plasmon subwavelength optics
- W. Barnes, A. Dereux, T. Ebbesen
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 14 August 2003
Surface plasmons are waves that propagate along the surface of a conductor. By altering the structure of a metal's surface, the properties of surface plasmons—in particular their interaction with… Expand
Exceptionally high Young's modulus observed for individual carbon nanotubes
- M. Treacy, T. Ebbesen, J. M. Gibson
- Nature
- 1996
CARBON nanotubes are predicted to have interesting mechanical properties—in particular, high stiffness and axial strength—as a result of their seamless cylindrical graphitic structure1–5. Their… Expand
Beaming Light from a Subwavelength Aperture
- H. Lezec, A. Degiron, +4 authors T. Ebbesen
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 20 June 2002
Light usually diffracts in all directions when it emerges from a subwavelength aperture, which puts a lower limit on the size of features that can be used in photonics. This limitation can be… Expand
Electrical conductivity of individual carbon nanotubes
- T. Ebbesen, H. Lezec, H. Hiura, J. Bennett, H. Ghaemi, T. Thio
- Nature
- 1 July 1996
THE interest in carbon nanotubes has been greatly stimulated by theoretical predictions that their electronic properties are strongly modulated by small structural variations1–8. In particular, the… Expand
Surface plasmons enhance optical transmission through subwavelength holes
- H. Ghaemi, T. Thio, D. Grupp, T. Ebbesen, H. Lezec
- Physics
- 15 September 1998
Optically thick metal films perforated with a periodic array of subwavelength holes show exceptional transmission properties. The zero-order transmission spectra exhibit well-defined maxima and… Expand
Light in tiny holes
- C. Genet, T. Ebbesen
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 4 January 2007
The presence of tiny holes in an opaque metal film, with sizes smaller than the wavelength of incident light, leads to a wide variety of unexpected optical properties such as strongly enhanced… Expand
Theory of extraordinary optical transmission through subwavelength hole arrays.

- Materials Science, Physics
- Physical review letters
- 14 August 2000
We present a fully three-dimensional theoretical study of the extraordinary transmission of light through subwavelength hole arrays in optically thick metal films. Good agreement is obtained with… Expand
Large-scale synthesis of carbon nanotubes
- T. Ebbesen, P. Ajayan
- Materials Science
- Nature
- 1 July 1992
INTEREST in carbon fibres1,2 has been stimulated greatly by the recent discovery of hollow graphitic tubules of nanometre dimensions3. There has been much speculation about the properties and… Expand
Channel plasmon subwavelength waveguide components including interferometers and ring resonators
