Surface plasmons
The existence of surface plasmons in metallic structures opens up a multitude of new possibilities for photonic devices as they allow the propagation and concentration of light in sub wavelength spaces. The objective of Surface Plasmon Photonics 2 was to bring together leading groups with different viewpoints (theoretical, experimental and technological) and/or different backgrounds (chemistry, material science, optics, condensed matter). It helped to identify promising directions in this field and also to act as a springboard for new developments.
