Abstract :
Surface-plasmon (SP) based waveguiding configurations are considered, and subwavelength photonic components utilizing SP modes propagating along channels cut into and dielectric ridges deposited onto gold films are overviewed demonstrating first examples of ultra-compact plasmonic components.
