Tapered metallic grooves have been shown to support plasmons–electromagnetically
coupled oscillations of free electrons at metal–dielectric interfaces–across a variety of …

Plasmonics has attracted a lot of interest in the past few years because of its unique
features, especially for its ability to confine light in extremely small volumes. However …

Emerging telecommunication and data routing applications anticipate a photonic roadmap
leading to ultra-compact photonic integrated circuits. Consequently, photonic devices will …

We experimentally demonstrate an on-chip nanoscale silicon surface-plasmon Schottky
photodetector based on internal photoemission process and operating at telecom …

Nanoplasmonics deals with the collective oscillation of electrons at the surface of metallic
structures at the nanometer scale. It possesses advantages including nanofocusing of …

The scaling that has governed the continual increase in density, performance, and efficiency
of electronic devices is rapidly reaching its inevitable limitations. In order to sustain the trend …

Surface plasmon polaritons can give a unique opportunity to manipulate light at a scale well
below the diffraction limit reducing the size of optical components down to that of …

The use of metals for light localization in lasers is a new way of reducing their size and
addresses the key issues of electrical contacting and heat sinking. Such lasers can also be …

We consider the issue of compensating the loss in plasmonic waveguides with
semiconductor gain material and show that, independent of specific geometry, full loss …

A theoretical investigation of a nano-scale hybrid plasmonic waveguide with a low-index as
well as high-index gain medium is presented. The present hybrid plasmonic waveguide …
