The field concentration property is governed by the plasmonic resonances and their interference. Here, we present a method for controllable local-field interferences in the hot spot of nanorods and experimentally demonstrate that the field enhancement can be tuned in a wide range. For this, we design nanoparticles with given phase relations between their plasmonic eigenmodes and at the same time tune the phase between the components of the external field by changing its polarization state to achieve in-phase excitation of the plasmon modes. Strong-field photoemission is applied to probe the field enhancement property of the nanorods employing femtosecond pulses of different polarization states. Our findings provide a new degree of freedom in plasmonic resonance tuning and may inspire diverse designs of local-field responses and expand the applications in nanoscale sensing, spectroscopy, and dynamically tunable devices.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1557-1963}, orcid-numbers = {Dombi, Péter/0000-0002-0736-3512; Rácz, Péter/0000-0001-5099-1031; Pápa, Zsuzsanna/0000-0003-3567-6468} } @{MTMT:34225793, title = {Ellipsometric probing of hot electrons in plasmonic media}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34225793}, author = {Budai, J. and Pápa, Zsuzsanna and Petrik, Péter and Dombi, Péter}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Metamaterials, Photonic Crystals and Plasmonics, META 2023}, unique-id = {34225793}, year = {2023}, pages = {287-288}, orcid-numbers = {Pápa, Zsuzsanna/0000-0003-3567-6468; Petrik, Péter/0000-0002-5374-6952; Dombi, Péter/0000-0002-0736-3512} } @{MTMT:34167648, title = {On-Chip, On-Air Carrier-Envelope Phase Detector of nJ-Level Laser Pulses and Spatial CEP Sculpting}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34167648}, author = {Hanus, Václav and Fehér, Beatrix and Csajbók, Viktória and Sándor, Péter and Pápa, Zsuzsanna and Budai, Judit and Wang, Zilong and Paul, Pallabi and Szeghalmi, Adriana and Dombi, Péter}, booktitle = {2023 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC)}, doi = {10.1109/CLEO/EUROPE-EQEC57999.2023.10231501}, unique-id = {34167648}, abstract = {Carrier-envelope phase (CEP) is a powerful knob to steer interactions of laser light with matter in the strong-field regime, as evidenced by numerous studies of ultrafast electron dynamics in atomic, molecular and solid-state media.

In recent years several experiments emerged that demonstrated the possibility of steering electrons in matter with optical fields on femtosecond timescales and this way they established building blocks for PHz devices [1,2]. Such a typical experiment usually exploits the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of laser pulses which causes symmetry breaking driving an oriented current in a medium. These ultrafast, CEP-dependent currents appear in a wide range of media spanning graphene, semiconductors or dielectrics. A common feature of these experiments is that currents are detected using metal electrodes and slow electrical circuit is contacted to the illuminated volume. This raises the question on what basis the current transfer from the medium to the electrodes is and whether the optical-to-electrical conversion is possible without the loss of bandwidth. A recent study [3] hints that the photocurrent transfer might be non-local, i.e. there is no need for physical transport of carriers from the volume to the electrodes. Having that in mind, we experimentally studied the relationship between the ultrafast photocurrent current, material, laser beam and geometry. We observed signatures that can be modelled with the Ramo-Shockley theorem that support the manifestation of non-local, i.e. quasi-instantaneous dynamics.}, keywords = {semiconductors; Electrons; Electrodes; Laser beams; Atomic layer deposition; Optical fields}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Pápa, Zsuzsanna/0000-0003-3567-6468; Dombi, Péter/0000-0002-0736-3512} } @article{MTMT:34112247, title = {Carrier-envelope phase on-chip scanner and control of laser beams}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34112247}, author = {Hanus, Václav and Fehér, Beatrix and Csajbók, Viktória and Sándor, Péter and Pápa, Zsuzsanna and Budai, Judit and Wang, Zilong and Paul, Pallabi and Szeghalmi, Adriana and Dombi, Péter}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-023-40802-z}, journal-iso = {NAT COMMUN}, journal = {NATURE COMMUNICATIONS}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34112247}, issn = {2041-1723}, abstract = {The carrier-envelope phase (CEP) is an important property of few-cycle laser pulses, allowing for light field control of electronic processes during laser-matter interactions.

In the present work, we investigate both experimentally and theoretically the impact of laser sources on the generation of surface modification related effects and on the subsequent surface patterning of metallic and semiconducting materials. Through a parametric study we correlate the mid-IR pulsed laser parameters with the onset of material damage and the formation of a variety of periodic surface structures at a laser wavelength of λL = 3200 nm and a pulse duration of τp = 45 fs. Results for nickel and silicon indicate that the produced topographies comprise both high and low spatial frequency induced periodic structures, similar to those observed at lower wavelengths, while groove formation is absent. The investigation of the damage thresholds suggests the incorporation of nonlinear effects generated from three-photon-assisted excitation (for silicon) and the consideration of the role of the non-thermal excited electron population (for nickel) at very short pulse durations. The results demonstrate the potential of surface structuring with mid-IR pulses, which can constitute a systematic novel engineering approach with strong fields at long-wavelength spectral regions that can be used for advanced industrial laser applications. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {NICKEL; topography; Surface structure; Laser applications; RELAXATION PROCESSES; ULTRASHORT PULSES; Pulsed lasers; Laser texturing; multiscale modeling; ultrafast dynamics; Multiscale modelling; Damage threshold; Damage threshold; Laser sources; laser-induced periodic surface structures; ULTRASHORT-PULSE; laser induced periodic surface structures; Mid-infrared pulse; Ultra-fast dynamics; Femtosecond laser texturing with mid-IR pulses; Femtosecond laser texturing with mid-infrared pulse; Mid-infrared spectral regions}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1873-5584}, orcid-numbers = {Pápa, Zsuzsanna/0000-0003-3567-6468; Flender, Roland/0000-0001-6970-0716; Márton, Zsuzsanna/0000-0001-7625-3571} }
