Optical Characterization of Plasmonic Nanostructures: Near-Field Imaging of the Magnetic Field of Light

This thesis focuses on a means of obtaining, for the first time, full electromagnetic imaging of photonic nanostructures. The author also develops a unique practical simulation framework which is used to confirm the results. The development of innovative photonic devices and metamaterials with tailo...
