Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons at the conductor-dielectric interface, driven by an external electromagnetic field. These waves, known as surface plasmon waves (SPWs), ...

This month's topic is the promising field of plasmonics. Marie Freebody speaks to Niek van Hulst about the potential wealth of applications that are on the horizon. Niek van Hulst heads up the ...

In recent years, the field of plasmonics has gained significant attention due to its potential applications in various industries, including sensing, catalysis, and telecommunications. Plasmonics ...

Surface plasmons are quanta of collective oscillations of free electrons at metal-insulator interface, usually excited by photons. Since it was first proposed in 1950s by Ritchie, new interests have ...

Optics researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have devised a way to squeeze light into tighter spaces than previously thought possible, potentially opening the door to new technology in ...
