TL;DR: It is demonstrated that strong coupling between molecular excited states and surface plasmon modes of a slit array in a thin metal film leads to a new, molecular-like mode that repels the polariton states, and leads to an opening of energy gaps both below and above the asymptotic free molecule energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison among several fully-vectorial methods applied to a basic scattering problem governed by the physics of the electromagnetic interaction between subwavelength apertures in a metal film is presented.

TL;DR: The concepts of phase, polarization, and feedback control of matter are extended to develop a general approach for guiding light in the nanoscale via nanoparticle arrays, wherein both the excitation field parameters and the structural parameters of the nanoparticle array are optimized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief introduction to the physics of coupled exciton-plasmon systems, the theoretical description and experimental manifestation of such phenomena, followed by an account of the state-of-the-art methodology for the numerical simulations of these phenomena and supplemented by a number of FORTRAN codes, by which the interested reader can introduce himself/herself to the practice of such simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of electromagnetic radiation of arbitrary polarization with multilevel atoms in a self-consistent manner is considered, taking into account both spatial and temporal dependencies of local fields.
