Ultrafast active plasmonics: transmission and control of femtosecond plasmon signals
arXiv:0807.2542 · doi:10.1038/NPHOTON.2008.249
Abstract
We report that femtosecond surface plasmon polariton pulses can propagate along a metal-dielectric waveguide and that they can be modulated on the femtosecond timescale by direct ultrafast optical excitation of the metal, thereby offering unprecedented terahertz plasmonic bandwidth - a key missing component in the development of surface plasmons as information carriers for next generation nanophotonic devices.
