In this book, the authors concentrate on the surface Plasmon (SP) waveguide
configurations ensuring nanoscale confinement and review the current status of
this rapidly emerging field, considering different configurations being
developed for nanoscale plasmonic guides and circuits. Both fundamental physics
and application aspects of plasmonics are reviewed in detail by the world's
leading experts. A unique feature of this book is its strong focus on a
particular subfield of plasmonics dealing with subwavelength (nanoscale)
waveguiding, an area which is especially important in view of the explosively
growing interest in plasmonic interconnects and nanocircuits.
