For outstanding experimental and theoretical research in nano-plasmonics and nano-photonics; in particular on the emission of light from nano-structures that support propagating surface plasmons.

For outstanding theoretical and experimental research in nano-plasmonics and nano-photonics; in particular on the propagation of surface plasmons-polaritons along a chain of metallic nano-particles.

The Sackler Prize will be shared equally between the two distinguished recipients. The prize will be awarded to the recipients in person on May 10, 2010, during the one-day workshop honoring the distinguished laureates and the annual session of the Tel Aviv University Board of Governors.
