Low-loss, infrared and terahertz nanophotonics using surface phonon polaritons (2015, background): “Al As [1 17 ] 36 6.”
Review of mid-infrared plasmonic materials (2015, background): “There is a growing recognition that in order to realize the full potential of the field of plasmonics, a renewed emphasis must be placed on the engineering and development of plasmonic materials.(7,8) One particularly striking example of this renewed emphasis on materials is the recent demonstration”
Comparative analysis of spasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and surface-plasmon-emitting diodes (2014, background): “Before proceeding further, we note a number of important parameters that do not show up explicitly in equation (4), namely the cavity volume, carrier density and Purcell factor.”
How to deal with the loss in plasmonics and metamaterials. (2014, methodology): “, solar cells, interconnects, switches 2 and modulators, the community is gradually beginning to realize that unless metal loss is reduced significantly the promise of P&M will remain unfulfilled [6,7]. A number of strategies for loss mitigation (or avoidance) are being pursued. These involve us”
