Plasmonic Devices and Materials

Abstract

This final technical report reviews our scientific and technical development in the area of new plasmonic devices and material undertaken during our AFOSR support from July 2002-June 2005. This report contains a summary overview of scientific and technical progress and results over the entire program. It also provides detail about recent technical conducted during Period of the present grant. Our work since the inception of the program has focused on development of materials and electromagnetic designs plasmonic devices at the subwavelength-to-wavelength scale. The effort includes experimental research on use of near field interactions to enable optical guiding and switching below the diffraction limit and is complemented by theoretical work on near field interactions in and collective modes of subwavelength scale metallodielectric structures.
