Plasmonics a Technology That Could Revolutionise Computing

clipper's remarks: Fibre optics without the fibres?

Clip Source: www.physorg.com

A book which gives an overview of plasmonics, an area of physics that could revolutionise computing and telecommunications over the next two decades, has been published by a researcher at the University of Bath.

Dr Stefan Maier’s 250-page work, Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications, published by Springer, was released last week.

In it Dr Maier, a member of the Centre for Photonics and Photonic Materials in the University’s Department of Physics, describes the basics of plasmonics, in which light signals are sent down the surfaces of small metallic nanostructures.

This makes it possible to create light circuits that are much smaller than those that can be made with insulating materials such as glass, the backbone of fibre-optic communications.

The new plasmonic devices could pave the way for computer chips that transmit and process information using light instead of electrons, with vastly improved computing speeds.
