Applications of plasmonics: general discussion

Applications, composites, and devices: general discussion.

Thurid Gspann said: There appears to be a length issue when dealing with carbon nanotubes. On the one hand for most applications, mechanical as well as electrical, CNT ends represent the ultimate defect. In other words CNTs should be as long as possible. On the other hand, purication, solubilisation and separation processes either shorten CNTs or require them to be of a length usually less tha...

Plasmonics of 2D Nanomaterials: Properties and Applications

Plasmonics has developed for decades in the field of condensed matter physics and optics. Based on the classical Maxwell theory, collective excitations exhibit profound light-matter interaction properties beyond classical physics in lots of material systems. With the development of nanofabrication and characterization technology, ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials attract tremendous ...

Active plasmonics in WDM traffic switching applications

With metal stripes being intrinsic components of plasmonic waveguides, plasmonics provides a "naturally" energy-efficient platform for merging broadband optical links with intelligent electronic processing, instigating a great promise for low-power and small-footprint active functional circuitry. The first active Dielectric-Loaded Surface Plasmon Polariton (DLSPP) thermo-optic (TO) switches wit...
