“…Krasavin et al [66] proposed a new concept for active plasmonics that exploits light-induced nanoscale structural transformations in the waveguide material. Specifically, they showed that surface plasmon polaritons signals in a metal-on-dielectric waveguide containing a Ga section a few microns long can be effectively controlled by switching the structural phase of gallium.…”

Ultraviolet plasmonics (UV) has become an active topic of research due to the new challenges arising in fields such as biosensing, chemistry or spectroscopy. Recent studies have pointed out aluminum, gallium, magnesium and rhodium as promising candidates for plasmonics in the UV range. Aluminum and magnesium present a high oxidation tendency that has a critical effect in their plasmonic performance. Nevertheless, gallium and rhodium have drawn a lot of attention because of their low tendency of oxidation and, at the same time, good plasmonic response in the UV and excellent photocatalytic properties. Here, we present a short overview of the current state of UV plasmonics with the latest findings in the plasmonic response and applications of aluminum, gallium, magnesium and rhodium nanoparticles.

“…Surface plasmons attract particular interest due to their potential applications in medicine and chemistry [1][2][3] as well as for optical switching 4 and near-field photonics. 5 Further, the recent experimental demonstration of the strong coupling regime for plasmon-polaritons in dielectric nanospheres embedded in gold films 6 shows the potential of surface plasmons as the basis of new light sources similar to polariton lasers.…”

Conventional surface plasmons have a wave vector exceeding that of light in vacuum, and therefore cannot be directly excited by light that is simply incident on the surface. However, we propose that a plasmonpolariton state can be formed at the boundary between a metal and a dielectric Bragg mirror that can have a zero in-plane wave vector and therefore can be produced by direct optical excitation. In analogy with the electronic states at a crystal surface proposed by Tamm, we call these excitations Tamm plasmons, and predict that they may exist in both the TE and TM polarizations and are characterized by parabolic dispersion relations.

“…1 Stemming from the desire to construct plasmon devices and the ability to make and characterize metallic structures on the nanoscale, plasmonics finds applications in fields as diverse as optical switching, 2 near-field photonics, 3 and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. 4 While still in its infancy, the field of plasmonics has already shown many interesting results including the study of full plasmonic band gaps 1 as well as plasmonic waveguiding.…”

Localized and delocalized plasmons in metallic nanovoids

et al. 2006

Nanostructured metal films comprised of periodically arranged spherical voids are grown by electrochemical deposition through a self-assembled template. Detailed measurements of the angle-and orientation-dependent reflectivity for different sample geometries reveal the spectral dispersion of several different types of surface plasmon modes. The dependence of the energies of both delocalized Bragg and localized Mie plasmons on the void goemetry is presented, along with theoretical models to explain some of these experimental findings. Strong interactions between the different plasmon modes as well as other mixing processes are identified. Understanding such plasmonic crystals allows for the engineering of devices tailored for a wide range of sensing application.
