INTRODUCTION TO PLASMONICS
• The term ‘plasmonics’ is derived from plasmons- quanta associated with collective
excitation of free electrons in metals.
• “A plasmon is a quantum of plasma oscillation”
The quantization of the collective longitudinal excitation of a conductive electron gas in a
metal is known as Plasmon.
• The excitation of a Plasmon requires the interaction of an electron passing through a thin
metal or by reflecting an electron or a photon from the metallic film.
PLASMONICS AS A NEW DEVICE TECHNOLOGY
• Metal nanostructures may possess exactly the right combination of electronic and optical
properties to tackle the issues of significantly faster processing speeds.
• The metals commonly used in electrical interconnection such as Cu and Al allow the
excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs).
• SPPs are electromagnetic waves that propagate along a metal-dielectric interface and are
coupled to the free electrons in the metal.
• Current Si-based integrated circuit technology already uses nanoscale metallic structures,
such as Cu and Al interconnects, to route electronic signals between transistors on a
chip.
• Plasmonic waveguides may even perform a dual function and simultaneously carry both
optical and electrical signals, giving rise to exciting new capabilities.
IMAGING SPPS WITH A PHOTON SCANNING
TUNNELING MICROSCOPE
PLASMONICS WAVEGUIDES
• Plasmonics is the science of oscillation of electron cloud in which the frequency of the
cloud is equal to that of the irradiated light. Plasmonics is mainly made up of two parts:
1) Surface Plasmon polaritons (SPP)
2) 2) localize plasmons (LP)
APPLICATIONS OF PLASMONICS
• DATA STORAGE
• SURFACE PLASMON SENSORS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE
• FLUORESCENCE ENHANCEMENT
• PLASMONSTERS
• QUANTUM PLASMONICS
CONCLUSION
• Surface plasmon photonics (“plasmonics”) is an expanding field at the frontiers of optical
science and engineering, concerned with the interaction of light with metallic structures.
• It not only uses the metallic surface for propagating the signal but also uses the dielectric
waveguides to enhance the transmission.
• The characteristics of surface plasmons and the variety of metallic structures that
support them have stimulated the research and development of diverse applications
within the fields of nanophotonics, biosensing, integrated optics, optoelectronics, and
quantum optics, only to highlight a few.
• Applications such as biosensors for healthcare, light concentration for solar energy,
optoelectronic devices for telecommunications, and faster chip Plasmon waves are
emerging very quickly.
CHALLENGES
• One of the most daunting problems preventing significant increases in processor speed are
thermal and signal delay issues associated with electronic interconnection.
• Optical interconnects possess an almost unimaginably large data carrying capacity, and may
offer interesting new solutions for circumventing these problems. Optical alternatives may be
particularly attractive for future chips with more distributed architectures in which a
multitude of fast electronic computing units (cores) need to be connected by high-speed links.
Unfortunately, their implementation is hampered by the large size mismatch between
electronic and dielectric photonic components.
• Dielectric photonic devices are limited in size by the fundamental laws of diffraction to about
half a wavelength of light and tend to be at least one or two orders of magnitude larger than
their nanoscale electronic counterparts. This obvious size mismatch between electronic and
photonic components presents a major challenge for interfacing these technologies.
