Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic (EM) modes propagating along
metal–dielectric interfaces, in which surface collective excitations of free electrons in the …

Measuring light's state of polarization is an inherently difficult problem since the phase
information between orthogonal polarization states is typically lost in the detection process …

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs), semiconductor nanocrystals capped with surfactant ligands
and dispersed in solution, have provided a powerful platform for the achievement of …

The Dielectric Loaded Surface Plasmon Polariton Waveguides (DLSPPWs) have recently
emerged as a possible solution to carry both optical and electrical signals on-chip. However …

Polymer nanocomposite based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and lead sulfide (PbS) in the
average radius of (1.88–2.23) nm, have been synthesized using the chemical reduction rote …

The presence of an excitonic element in close proximity of a plasmonic nanostructure, under
certain conditions, may lead to a nonradiative resonant energy transfer known as Exciton …

Propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along the interface between a metal and
a dielectric has attracted significant attention due to its unique optical properties, which has …

Optical amplification of surface plasmon polaritons has been pursued extensively in recent
years. However, few currently known optical gain materials can be expected to provide …

We propose a plasmonic waveguide with semiconductor gain material for optoelectronic
integrated circuits. We analyze properties of a finite-thickness metal–semiconductor–metal …

We demonstrate all-metallic grating couplers that enable vertical, compact and broadband
fiber-coupling. The grating couplers are based on a metal layer and directly convert a …
