Abstract
Plasmonics has provided researchers new means to control optical dispersion and light localization at nanoscale dimensions. Plasmonic design approaches are yielding building blocks for chip-based optical components as well as optical metamaterials and light trapping structures for improved efficiency in thin solar cells.
