Metallodielectric Arrays for Plasmonic Localized Enhancement
Abstract
Current tactical networks and applications are greatly strained by the bandwidth limitations of the RF spectrum. The Future Force is demanding simultaneous voice, video and data applications being streamed to the warfighter, creating a critical need for bandwidth. Recent research on the exploitation of plasmonics for sensor technology shows great promise for the development of future sensors and communications systems. The general focus of our research is to develop lightweight, low power, high bandwidth systems that can be used to gather real time data useful for the tactical environment. Surface plasmonics can achieve each of these criterions through simple, low cost designs. Our research will explore the plasmonic coupling phenomena associated with enhanced transmission through subwavelength apertures and its potential for tactical applications.
