Abstract

We will discuss various plasmonic approaches for controlling photonic signals on sub-wavelength scales. Plasmonic crystals, plasmonic waveguiding components as well a new plasmonic platform based on metamaterials will be presented. Particular emphasis will be given to achieving active functionalities using various control stimuli such as electronic and magnetic fields and all-optically. Amplification of plasmonic signals and dispersion management will also be addressed. Active and tuneable plasmonic components are required for development of integrated photonic circuits, in high-density data storage as well as bio- and chemo-sensing lab-on-a-chip systems, to name a few.
