Opis

In this book, the authors concentrate on the surface Plasmon (SP) waveguide configurations ensuring nanoscale confinement and review the current status of this rapidly emerging field, considering different configurations being developed for nanoscale plasmonic guides and circuits. Both fundamental physics and application aspects of plasmonics are reviewed in detail by the world's leading experts. A unique feature of this book is its strong focus on a particular subfield of plasmonics dealing with subwavelength (nanoscale) waveguiding, an area which is especially important in view of the explosively growing interest in plasmonic interconnects and nanocircuits.

Recenzje

"This book brings together expert contributions from experimentalists and theorists in the field of plasmonic waveguides and devices who steer readers through the underlying physical principles of plasmonic circuitry to specific designs and applications. Possible plasmonic waveguide geometries as well as their advantages and drawbacks are clearly and comprehensively discussed with various uses in mind, ranging from optical communication components, on-chip interconnects and electronic-photonic hybrid circuits. It makes fascinating reading and equally gives food for thought to nanophotonics practitioners and students alike."
—Prof. Anatoly Zayats, Queen's University of Belfast, UK
