… path for microfluidic engineering and cell-biology applications. Recently, Airy beams were theoretically introduced into plasmonics for controlling the surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along metal-dielectric interfaces.2 Now, researchers at the …

… perhaps even leading to a nanoscale optical transistor. Plasmonics allows light to be confined to nanoscale dimensions where ..... research team, however, has been looking at the effects on plasmonics of levels of gain and material quality much lower than what …

The ability to image surface-plasmon resonances allows researchers to map the local electric fields that create the unusual optoelectronic properties of metamaterials, for example.
