Recent years have seen a rapid expansion of research into nanophotonics based on
surface plasmon–polaritons. These electromagnetic waves propagate along metal …

The design and realization of metallic nanostructures with tunable plasmon resonances has
been greatly advanced by combining a wealth of nanofabrication techniques with advances …

We examine the current performance and future demands of interconnects to and on silicon
chips. We compare electrical and optical interconnects and project the requirements for …

Nanowires supporting propagating surface plasmons can function as nanowaveguides to
realize the light guiding with field confinement beyond the diffraction limit, providing …

Long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) are optical surface waves that propagate
along a thin symmetric metal slab or stripe over an appreciable length (centimeters) …

The constructive interference of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) launched by nanometric
holes allows us to focus SPP into a spot of high near-field intensity having subwavelength …

Given growing interest in optical-frequency magnetic dipole transitions, we use intermediate
coupling calculations to identify strong magnetic dipole emission lines that are well suited for …

We demonstrate a surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguide all-optical switch that
combines the unique physical properties of small molecules and metallic (plasmonic) …

We investigate the focusing of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited with 1.5 µm light in
a tapered Au waveguide on a planar dielectric substrate by experiments and simulations …

Multimode optical fibers have been primarily (and almost solely) used as “light pipes” in
short distance telecommunications and in remote and astronomical spectroscopy. The …
