Metals, semiconductors, metamaterials, and various two-dimensional materials with plasmonic dispersion exhibit numerous exotic physical effects in the presence of an external bias, for example static magnetic field or electric current. These phenomena range from Faraday rotation light propagating bulk to strong confinement directionality guided modes on surface are a consequence breaking Lorent...

In the past twenty years, we have reached a broad understanding of many light-driven phenomena in nanoscale systems. The temporal dynamics excited states are instead quite challenging to explore, and, at same time, crucial study for origin fundamental physical and chemical processes. this review examine current state prospects ultrafast driven by plasmons both from applied point view. This rese...

Chiral nanoplasmonics exhibits great potential for novel nanooptical devices due to the generation of a strong chiroptical response within nanoscale metallic structures. Recently, a number of different approaches have been utilized to create chiral nanoplasmonic structures. However, particularly for tailoring nanooptical chiral sensing devices, the understanding of the resulting chiroptical res...

A new strategy to control the flow of surface plasmon polaritons at metallic surfaces is presented. It is based on the application of the concept of transformation optics to devise the optical parameters of the dielectric medium placed on top of the metal surface. We describe the general methodology for the design of transformation optical devices for surface plasmons and analyze, for proof-of-...

We demonstrate that liquid metals support surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) at terahertz (THz) frequencies, and can thus serve as an attractive material system for a wide variety of plasmonic and metamaterial applications. We use eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) as the liquid metal injected into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold fabricated by soft lithography techniques. Using this approach, we...

we propose a new generation of unbiased (bias-free) antenna-less cw thz photomixer emitters array made of asymmetric msm gratings with subwavelength pitch, operating in optical near-field regime. we take advantage of the size effects in near-field optics and electrostatics to demonstrate the possibility of enhancing the thz power by four orders of magnitude, as compared with a similar array of ...

Our ability to control and harness light is undergoing a revolution, one that exploits the special properties of metals and our ability to structure them on a subwavelength scale. The materials that enable such control involve plasmonic and metallic metamaterials, materials that provide challenges for physicists and engineers that demand a multi-disciplinary approach. In June 2010, Alastair Hib...

Surface plasmon polaritons, propagating bound oscillations of electrons and light at a metal surface, have great potential as information carriers for next-generation, highly integrated nanophotonic devices1,2. Since the term ‘active plasmonics’ was coined in 20043, a number of techniques for controlling the propagation of guided surface plasmon polariton signals have been demonstrated4–7. Howe...
