description: Considered a major field of photonics plasmonics offers the potential to confine and guide light below the diffraction limit and promises a new generation of highly miniaturized photonic devices. This book combines a comprehensive introduction with an extensive overview of the current state of the art. Coverage includes plasmon waveguides cavities for field-enhancement nonlinear processes and the emerging field of active plasmonics studying interactions of surface plasmons with active media.
