Plasmonics and Optical Metastructures
Plasmonics, metamaterials, and metasurfaces have enabled unprecedented control of light and transformative advancements in various technologies. This Special Topic seeks to highlight the latest research and developments in the physics, design, fabrication, and applications of plasmonics and optical metastructures. We invite researchers from diverse disciplines to submit their innovative work, spanning theoretical investigations, experimental breakthroughs, and practical applications in both classical and quantum regimes. This collection aims to foster a deeper understanding of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, paving the way for novel devices and emerging technologies.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Strong coupling enabled by plasmonic nano-/pico-cavities
- Quantum metamaterials/metasurfaces and plasmonics
- Multifunctional metadevices for imaging, beam steering, sensing, etc.
- Metastructures with extreme optical properties
- Plasmonically enhanced photovoltaics, photocatalysis, biochemical sensors, and solar fuels
- Active, tunable and reconfigurable metastructures
- Ultrafast and nonlinear phenomena in plasmonics and metamaterials
- Advanced design and fabrication strategies for nanophotonic structures, devices, and systems
- Time-varying and spatiotemporal metastructure
