    Abstract: An ultra-thin planar device is used for arbitrary waveform formation on a micrometer scale, regardless of the incident light's polarization. Patterned perforations are made in a 30 nm-thick metal film, creating discrete phase shifts and forming a desired wavefront of cross-polarized, scattered light. The signal-to-noise ratio of these devices is at least one order of magnitude higher than current metallic nano-antenna designs. The focal length of a lens built on such principle can also be adjusted by changing the wavelength of the incident light. All proposed embodiments can be embedded, for example, on a chip or at the end of an optical fiber.

    Abstract: A system and method suitable for selection, manipulation, and analysis of individual particles within a fluid medium. The system and method involve manipulating the particles by contacting the fluid medium with a plasmonic nanoantenna, illuminating the plasmonic nanoantenna with a source of light such that the plasmonic nanoantenna acts as a nanoscale heat source resulting in localized heating of the fluid medium creating local gradients in the electrical properties of the fluid medium that yield plasmonic trapping sites in the vicinity of the plasmonic nanoantenna, and applying an alternating current electric field in the fluid medium to create electrothermoplasmonic flow around the plasmonic nanoantenna. The electrothermoplasmonic flow transports at least one of the particles towards the plasmonic nanoantenna and the particle is trapped by at least one of the plasmonic trapping sites.
