The Centre for Plasmonics & Metamaterials is a cross-faculty grouping at Imperial College London covering a broad range of research in plasmonics and metamaterials. We are working on both fundamental research, through theory and proof-of-concept experimental studies, and on application-oriented work towards highly disruptive technologies for energy, communication and computing, as well as healthcare.

Research areas

Nanoplasmonics and Nanophotonics

Nanoplasmonics marries photonics with nanotechnology, investigating the localisation of light and light/matter interactions on the nanoscale.
