Nanoplasmonics deals with collective electron dynamics on
the surface of metal nanostructures, which arises as a
result of excitations called surface plasmons. The surface
plasmons localize and concentrate optical energy in
nanoscopic regions creating highly enhanced local optical
fields. They undergo ultrafast dynamics with timescales as
short as a few hundred attoseconds. There are numerous
existing applications of nanoplasmonics: nanoantennas for
photovoltaic cells and LEDs, labels and tests for biology
and medicine, etc. We will focus on the latest developments
in nanoplasmonics. Among them is SPASER as a quantum
nanoscale generator of optical fields, which has earlier
been predicted and recently observed, generation of high
harmonics in the EUV range, ultrafast optical modulator
with THz bandwidth, generators and modulators of THz
radiation, coherent control of ultrafast processes on the
nanoscale, attosecond nanoplasmonic field microscope, etc.

Major Scientific Results: Mark I. Stockman is a pioneer of nanoplasmonics publishing his first results in this area in 1988 setting the foundations of the field and later obtaining groundbreaking results in it.. His introduced (1994) localization of plasmonic eigenmodes and such universally accepted phenomenon as plasmonic near-field hot spots. He was one of the co-authors in a fundamental paper (1992) that correctly predicted the SERS spectrum with a dramatic enhancement in the red/near-ir spectral region which was instrumental in the discovery by K. Kneipp et al. (1999) of the single-molecule SERS, as acknowledged by the corresponding reference. He with David Bergman showed (2001) that dark and bright plasmonic eigenmodes co-exist and the strongly-localized eigenmodes are necessarily dark. In 2002, he with co-authors introduced coherent control of ultrafast localization on the nanoscale thus founding ultrafast nanoplasmonics. This pioneering work has initiated a significant field of scientific research; in particular it has stimulated Focus Program “Ultrafast Nanooptics” of German Science Foundation. In 2003, he with David Bergman set foundation of quantum nanoplasmonics by introducing Surface Plasmon Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (SPASER), which has recently been observed experimentally. The SPASER prediction set up a rapidly developing scientific field. The significance of SPASER is in its ability to work both as a quantum nanoscale generator and amplifier of local plasmonic field, which functions similarly to the widely used MOSFET transistor but ~1000 times faster. SPASER is protected by a US patent No. 7,569,188. In 2004 he published two seminal results introducing adiabatic concentration of optical energy on nanoscale in plasmonic tapers and efficient nanolenses of nanoparticle aggregates. Both these works enjoyed wide experimental and theoretical following. He continued to work very actively introducing in 2007 attosecond nanoplasmonics and attosecond nanoplasmonic-field microscopy (in collaboration with a team from MPQ (Garching, Germany) and LMU (Munich, Germany). Among significant recent results are plasmonic renormalization of Coulomb interaction (2008) and Giant Plasmon-Induced Drag Effect (SPIDEr) (2009).
