Plasmonics with a Twist: Taming Optical Tornadoes on the Nanoscale
This chapter discusses a hydrodynamics-inspired approach to trap and manipulate light in plasmonic nanostructures, which is based on steering optical powerflow around nano-obstacles. New insights into plasmonic nanofocusing mechanisms are obtained by invoking an analogy of the ‘photon fluid’ (PF). B...
