Plasmonics: the future wave of communication.

The article presents the authors' view on the progress and future prospects of plasmonics in generation of wave communication. They mention the two main components of plasmonics including surface plasmon (SP) polaritons and localized surface plasmons (LSPs), and also the applications of plasmonics including plasmonic lasers, plasmonic switches and plasmonic waveguides. Reduction in electron confinement, structural imperfections and metal heating losses in plasmonics are also suggested.
