Coherent, Nonlinear, and Ultrafast Nanoplasmonics — •Mark Stockman — Department of Physics and Astronomy, Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA

This talk introduces and reviews recent new ideas and progress in coherent, nonlinear and ultrafast nanoplasmonics. It includes a brief Introduction to the topic and forefront, focus areas based partially on original contributions, including ultrafast, coherent, nonlinear, and stimulated phenomena. Spaser will be one of the focus points of the talk as an ultrafast generator of local optical field on nanoscale. We also consider dynamic, controllable, ultrafast localization of optical energy on the nanoscale and nonlinear photoelectron emission coherently controlled by the phases of the ultrashort excitation pulses. Finally, we consider a recent development based on the combination of the adiabatic concentration of optical energy on nanoscale and spatio-temporal modulation of surface plasmon polaritons.
