Abstract

Plasmonics, the science and engineering of surface plasmons, has evolved rapidly in recent years, promising transformative breakthroughs in the field of nanophotonics. This paper explores emerging trends in plasmonics, spanning from theoretical underpinnings to a wide array of applications, showcasing the potential for revolutionizing light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Beginning with a foundational understanding of plasmonics, we delve into the theoretical framework that governs the behavior of surface plasmons. This includes discussions on surface plasmon resonances, their dependence on material properties, and the exotic optical phenomena that arise due to the confinement and enhancement of electromagnetic fields. We also explore advanced numerical and computational techniques that facilitate the design and optimization of plasmonic structures. From theory, we transition to a spectrum of applications where plasmonics is reshaping the landscape of nanophotonics. Plasmonic nanostructures, such as nanoparticles, nanorods, and metamaterials, are enabling breakthroughs in sensing, imaging, and light manipulation. We discuss their role in enhancing sensitivity in biosensing, boosting resolution in super-resolution microscopy, and enabling novel techniques in quantum optics.
