We recently published a paper in Scientific Reports presenting the first demonstration of niobium as a plasmonic material, with several advantages compared to conventional materials such as silver and gold. Optical fibers are a fantastic platform to show this. This is my first paper published in the new group at IPHT!

Ultrathin niobium nanofilms on fiber optical tapers – a new route towards low-loss hybrid plasmonic modes

New paper published in Scientific Reports describing a fast and easy method to study imaging in uniaxial media, including highly aniotropic and hyperbolic media. Contact me if you would like to use the source code!
