Introduction: Plasmonics and its Building Blocks
Abstract
An overview of the field of plasmonics is presented that describes its historical development and the surface excitations that underlie it, namely surface plasmon polaritons and localized surface plasmons. Recent theoretical and experimental developments concerning these excitations are described, together with discussions of applications in which they have been employed and applications for which they have been proposed but which have not yet been realized.
