“…The fascinating properties of plasmonics provide a foundation for various applications, including integrated optical circuits [11][12][13], singlemolecule detection [14,15], super-resolution imaging [16,17], photovoltaics [18,19], color generation [20][21][22], and biological sensing [23,24]. These achievements have mostly been realized in the visible or near-infrared regions where the noble metals host plasmons that can be driven by light fields.…”

With unique possibilities for controlling light in nanoscale devices, graphene plasmonics has opened new perspectives to the nanophotonics community with potential applications in metamaterials, modulators, photodetectors, and sensors. In this paper, we briefly review the recent exciting progress in graphene plasmonics. We begin with a general description of the optical properties of graphene, particularly focusing on the dispersion of graphene-plasmon polaritons. The dispersion relation of graphene-plasmon polaritons of spatially extended graphene is expressed in terms of the local response limit with an intraband contribution. With this theoretical foundation of graphene-plasmon polaritons, we then discuss recent exciting progress, paying specific attention to the following topics: excitation of graphene plasmon polaritons, electron-phonon interactions in graphene on polar substrates, and tunable graphene plasmonics with applications in modulators and sensors. Finally, we address some of the apparent challenges and promising perspectives of graphene plasmonics.

“…For coupling optics to electronics, surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are ideal carriers because they propagate as electromagnetic waves along the dielectric/metal interface and yet induce collective charge oscillations in a metal123. For this reason, the use of SPPs for on-chip optical interconnects has gained interest in recent years456789101112, although they have long been applied in biosensing13141516, lithography171819, subwavelength imaging2021 and nanomanipulation2223 due to their subwavelength-scale spatial confinement and strong local field enhancement24.…”

Merging multiple microprocessors with high-speed optical networks has been considered a promising strategy for the improvement of overall computation power. However, the loss of the optical communication bandwidth is inevitable when interfacing between optical and electronic components. Here we present an on-chip plasmonic switching device consisting of a two-dimensional (2D) disordered array of nanoholes on a thin metal film that can provide multiple-input and multiple-output channels for transferring information from a photonic to an electronic platform. In this device, the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) generated at individual nanoholes become uncorrelated on their way to the detection channel due to random multiple scattering. We exploit this decorrelation effect to use individual nanoholes as independent antennas, and demonstrated that more than 40 far-field incident channels can be delivered simultaneously to the SPP channels, an order of magnitude improvement over conventional 2D patterned devices.

“…The metallic nanostructures enable the formation of the reorganized and highly localized evanescent field, whereas the uniform evanescent fields are created on metallic thin film (15,16). This highly localized filed could improve the sensitivity in sensing (17,18) and the lateral resolution in imaging (19,20). For fabricating the metallic nanostructure for SERS, numerous techniques, including the dip-pen, nanoimprint, electronbeam and focused ion beam lithography, have been adopted (21)(22)(23).…”

The surface-enhanced Raman spectrum was investigated through a numerical model and experiments constructed based on the stochastic Ag nanoislands (AgNIs) substrate. By a rigorous coupled-wave analysis method, the basic properties of electric field were calculated for numerical analysis. The plasmonic coupling between Au nanoparticles Downloaded by [The University Of Melbourne Libraries] at 01:18 29 March 2016 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2 (AuNPs) and AgNI substrate was optimized by changing the position of AuNPs on theAg nanostructured substrate. Furthermore, we experimentally confirmed that AgNIs substrate enable that the intensity of Raman spectra were dramatically improved up to ~ 20-fold compared to that of a silver thin film as we expected in numerical calculations.The results gained in this work suggests that we could significantly enhanced the Raman signal using easily fabricable AgNI substrates, and can provide the potential applications, such as food, pharmaceutical and security inspections.
