Plasmonic structures exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics, which are benefited by the localized and intensified light–matter interaction. There have been many recent advancements with ...

A group of photonics researchers at Tampere University have introduced a novel method to control a light beam with another beam through a unique plasmonic metasurface in a linear medium at ultra-low ...

Conventional computer processors have pretty much maxed out their "clock speeds"—a measurement of how fast they can toggle on and off—due to the limitations of electronic switching. Scientists looking ...

Over the past decade, the rapid advancement of information communications technology has led us to a significant demand for such efficient devices that can operate at high speed and large capacity.

Control of magnetism has attracted interest in achieving low-power and high-speed applications such as magnetic data storage and spintronic devices. Two-dimensional magnets allow for control of ...

A micrometer-sized liquid crystal droplet doped with fluorescent dye functions as a nanosecond optical switch that controls light output using light alone. The resonant cavity design cuts the energy ...

Plasmonics is playing a crucial role in advancing nanophotonics, as plasmonic structures exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics that are benefited by the localized and intensified ...
