Nanophotonics and Plasmonics: Emerging sciencific and technological applications | |||
The interaction of electromagnetic light waves with nanosize metallic structures
can give rise to interesting phenomena such as subwavelength focusing and
efficient waveguiding in subwavelength structures. The nonconventional behaviour
of light in metallic nanostructure arises from the interaction of electromagnetic
waves with surface plasmons on the surfaces of the nanostructures. In the talk, I
will review the basic properties of plasmons in metallic nanostructures and
discuss the possibilities for technological applications such as on-chip chemical
and biological sensing, nanophotonic optical interconnects, and nanosized
antennas. The concepts will be illustrated using simulations from a recently
developed electromagnetic simulation tool based on the Finite Difference Time
Domain method.
