Surface Plasmon Polariton Nanooptics

In recent years intensive investigations of surface plasmon polaritons have been made in the promising context of nanophotonics. This book discusses the experimental realisation of key high efficiency two-dimensional optical elements, built up from metal nanostructures, such as nanoparticles and nanowires to manipulate plasmon polaritons propagating on metal surface. This book also presents several examples of two-dimensional nanooptical devices fabricated and studied in recent years.
