When metal nanoparticles are arranged in an ordered array, they may scatter light to
produce diffracted waves. If one of the diffracted waves then propagates in the plane of the …

In undergraduate courses on classical electromagnetism, it is taught that a perfect conductor
expels the electromagnetic (EM) field, and hence its surface is not able to support the …

Active plasmonics is a burgeoning and challenging subfield of plasmonics. It exploits the
active control of surface plasmon resonance. In this review, a first-ever in-depth description …

Metasurfaces are ultrathin metamaterials consisting of planar electromagnetic (EM)
microstructures (eg, meta-atoms) with pre-determined EM responses arranged in specific …

Coherent upconversion of terahertz and mid-infrared signals into visible light opens new
horizons for spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing but represents a challenge for conventional …

Terahertz (THz) technology has attracted great worldwide interest and novel high-intensity
THz sources and plasmonics are two of the most active fields of recent research. Being …

In this review we look at the concepts and state-of-the-art concerning the strong coupling of
surface plasmon-polariton modes to states associated with quantum emitters such as …

Electrochromic (EC) smart windows are able to vary their throughput of visible light and solar
energy by the application of an electrical voltage and are able to provide energy efficiency …

Metasurfaces are artificially structured thin films with unusual properties on demand.
Different from metamaterials, the metasurfaces change the electromagnetic waves mainly by …

The field of plasmonics explores the interaction between light and metallic
micro/nanostructures and films. The collective oscillation of free electrons on metallic …
