Magnetic NanoLight
The research carried out in our group, based at Sorbonne University and part of the CNRS, aims to develop photonic nanoantennas to strongly increase the electric and magnetic fields of light, their gradients, and their polarizations to manipulate and boost the numerous interactions between light and matter.

In this paper, 135 years after Heinrich Hertz's first radio antenna, we describe a new type of photonic antenna that behaves like a magnetic monopole, from optical wavelengths up to GHz frequencies, featuring even a single effective magnetic charge at its center.

In this paper, we engineered a plasmonic antenna at the apex of a near-field probe to illuminate a living cell at the nanoscale, resolving molecular diffusion within nanoclusters and distinguishing it from nanocluster diffusion.

In this paper, we demonstrate that a gold plasmonic nanorod can generate a DC magnetic field through an inverse faraday effect and a linear polarisation, which was thought to be impossible.
