Wednesday, September 14, 2016. My sincere appreciation goes to the doctors, nurses and staff who cared for me. Thank you and may God continue to guide you in the very important work you do. Finally, please pray for the repose of the soul of my aunt Dorothy Jakubczyk who died this week. Her husband John passed away a few years back. Her children will also need your prayers during this time of loss. Again thank you for your prayers.

Exhibit unique optical properties related to surface plasmons - optical waves originating from collective oscillations of electrons and associated electromagnetic field intensity. They allow strong confinement of light at sub-wavelength dimensions and enable strongly enhance its intensity. Research that is devoted to investigation of this field is referred as to plasmonics. In addition, we explore light confinement occuring on plasmonic nanostructures.
