Crystallization of strongly interacting photons in a nonlinear optical fibre (2007, background): “Specific systems that have recently been explored in this context include tapered optical fibers [14], hollow-core photonic crystal fibers [15, 16], and surface plasmons on conducting nanowires [17, 18].”
Microwave photonics with superconducting quantum circuits (2017, background): “Arguably, the first such experiment was performed in 2007 when CdSe quantum dots were coupled to surface plasmons propagating in a silver nanowire [487].”
Silicon-Based Plasmonics for On-Chip Photonics (2010, background): “been demonstrated along single metallic films [5], [60] and near nanoparticles [52] and nanowires [3].”
Single metal nanoparticles: optical detection, spectroscopy and applications (2011, background): “has been studied in different antenna geometries such as single metal particles [288, 291], nanowires [292, 293], gap antennas”
Roadmap on plasmonics (2018, positive): “Finally, besides the unprecedented compactness of SP-based circuitry and its seamless integration with electrical wiring, extreme SP mode confinement opens a way to very efficient coupling of quantum emitters (QEs) to SP modes, as well as boosting up the QE emission rates via the Purcell effect [42]”
