Novel Devices for Plasmonic and Nanophotonic Networks: Exploiting X-ray Wavelengths at Optical Frequencies

Abstract

This final report summarizes the Caltech Plasmonics MURI program accomplishments. It is no exaggeration to say that the FY04 Plasmonics MURI catalyzed a worldwide research effort in which MURI investigators were research leaders of the plasmonics field from 2004-2010. In the MURI program, a large number of new concepts and devices were conceived, designed and demonstrated, including subwavelength waveguides, negative refractive index materials at visible frequencies, a far-field hyperlens, a plasMOStor plasmonic modulator, deep subwavelength plasmon lasers as well as larger plasmon lasers; laser antennas, plasmonic hyperspectral infrared detectors, to name a subset of achievements. Under MURI support, a total of 65 journal publications were published, including 2 papers in Nature, 2 in Nature Materials, 4 in Nature Photonics, and 2 in Science.
