Abstract :
This paper outlines some of the recent studies on manipulating light and sensing molecules with plasmonic nanostructures. Recent advances in this rapidly developing area now enable researchers to mount a systematic approach toward the goal of full systems-level integration of photonics with nanotechnology using nanoscale plasmonics. Hence, plasmonic nanophotonics promises to create entirely new prospects for guiding light on the nanoscale, some of which may have revolutionary impact on present-day optical technologies.
