摘要
Techniques for active modulation and control of plasmonic signals in future highly-integrated nanophotonic devices have advanced rapidly in recent years, with recent innovations extending performance into the terahertz frequency and femtojoule-per-bit switching energy domains. As thoughts turn towards the development of practical device structures, key technologies are compared in this review and prospects are assessed for the future development of the field. Artist's impression of a hybrid opto-/electro-plasmonic chip combining microelectronic and photonic functionalities. [GRAPHICS] (C) 2010 by WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
