Current developments in optical technologies are being directed
toward nanoscale devices with subwavelength dimensions, in which
photons are manipulated on the nanoscale. Although light is clearly
the fastest means to send information to and from the nanoscale,
there is a fundamental incompatibility between light at the
microscale and devices and processes at the nanoscale.
Nanostructured metals which support surface plasmon modes can
concentrate electromagnetic (EM) fields to a small fraction of a
wavelength while enhancing local field strengths by several orders
of magnitude. For this reason, plasmonic nanostructures can serve
as optical couplers across the nano-micro interface:
metal-dielectric and metal-semiconductor nanostructures can act as
optical nanoantennae and enhance light matter coupling in nanoscale
devices. This book describes how one can fully integrate plasmonic
nanostructures into dielectric, semiconductor, and molecular
photonic devices, for guiding photons across the nano-micro
interface and for detecting molecules with unsurpassed sensitivity.
