Abstract :
This article outlines some of the recent studies on light manipulation and molecule sensing with plasmonic nanostructures. Studies show that plasmonic nanostructures can serve as optical couplers across nano-micro interface, and recent advances in this emerging area now enable researchers to mount a systematic approach toward the goal of full system-level integration.
