Spectral interferometric microscopy reveals absorption by individual optical antennas from extinction phase

In this thesis, we aim to understand how individual metallic nano-antennas can mediate the interaction of light with matter at optical frequencies. Firstly, we assess optical antennas in a focussed beam configuration and confirm recent theoretical predictions of extremely strong extinction by a dipo...
