2. PLASMONICS
• Surface Plasmonics is an expanding field of optical
science and engineering.
• Concerned with interaction of light with metallic
structures.
• Surface plasmons are coupled electromagnetic waves
propagating along metal-dielectric interfaces at metal
nanostructures.

3. • In order to fabricate effective plasmonic devices
nanostructure materials must be used.
• They provide a bridge between electronics and
photonics to build extremely small and fast devices.
• There are papers in the special issue review the
topical areas as well as promising applications in the
rapidly growing field of plasmonics.

4. • The first paper, by Shaltout, titled:
“Development of optical meta-surfaces: Emerging
concepts and new materials”
• Reviews the area of optical meta-surfaces.
• Meta-surfaces are 2-D meta-materials, constructed
by defining sub-wavelength features on a plane.

5. • The second paper, by Rodrigo, titled:
“Extraordinary optical transmission: Fundamentals
and Applications”
• Reviews the area of extraordinary optical
transmission.
• Refers to the transmission of light through a sub-
wavelength hole in a opaque metal.

6. • The third paper, by Fitzgerald, titled:
“Quantum Plasmonics”
• Reviews emerging area of the field.
• It concerned with phenomena where the quantized
nature of surface plasmons interact with matter.

7. • The fourth paper, by Smalley, titled:
“Amplification and lasing of plasmonic modes”
• Reviews the involvement of surface plasmons in
optical amplification and lasing process.
• SPASER- Surface plasmon amplification by
stimulated emission of radiation.

8. • The fifth paper, by Krasavin and Zayats, titled:
“Benchmarking system-level performance of passive
and active plasmonic components: Integrated circuit
approach”
• To compare surface plasmon wave guides energy
consumption and bandwidth.

9. • The sixth paper, by Brongersma, titled:
“Plasmonic photodetectors, photovoltaics, and hot-
electron devices”
• Reviews this promising area of application of
combining metallic structures that supports surface
plasmos.

10. • The seventh paper, by Haffner, titled:
“Plasmonic organic hybrid modulators- Scaling
highest speed photonics to the microscale”
• Discusses a promising class of plasmonic modulators
followed by IC modulation and advanced modulation
formats.

11. • The eighth paper, by Spackova, titled:
“Optical biosensors based on plasmonic nano : A
review”
• Reviews the important area of biosensor applications.
• The first applications of surface plasmons.

12. APPLICATIONS
• Molecular biology(detection of cancer
markers, toxins, drug residues).
• In the field of nanophotonics.
• Integrated optics.
• Optoelectronics for telecommunications.
• Quantum optics.
• Plasmonic solar cells.

13. Future Scopes
• The purpose of this is to survey the broad landscape
of applications enabled by plasmonics, with the aim
of becoming a widely read issue for the field and
researchers wishing to enter the area.
• Plasmonics is rapidly gaining importance with in the
scientific and research communities.
