The document presents information on the topic of plasmonics. It discusses how surface plasmonics involves the interaction of light with metallic nanostructures. Surface plasmons are electromagnetic waves that propagate along metal-dielectric interfaces. The document reviews several papers focusing on different aspects of plasmonics, including optical metasurfaces, extraordinary optical transmission, quantum plasmonics, amplification and lasing of plasmonic modes, and plasmonic applications in areas such as biosensing and nanophotonics. Plasmonics is presented as an expanding field that provides opportunities for extremely small and fast photonic devices by bridging electronics and photonics.
