A team of European researchers has demonstrated what could be the basis of novel photonic components. Through the exploitation of plasma oscillations, these and other plasmonic devices potentially could manipulate both electronic and photonic signals simultaneously. Thus, they could allow all-optical signal switching, modulation and selection. Using plasmonics makes optical components smaller, in this case a plasmonic waveguide-ring resonator with a radius of 5 μm. Shown are topographical (a) and near-field optical images measured with 1530-nm (b), 1550-nm (c), 1570-nm (d) and...Read full article
