Plasmon-mediated Nonlinear Optics and Dynamics

The intense interactions between light and plasmons allow for electromagnetic energy to be used in a variety of novel ways. Plasmon-mediated nonlinear optics enable efficient light modulation through processes like harmonic generation, frequency mixing, and polarization rotation. These fundamental nonlinear processes can be exploited for applications such as photonic circuits and devices, and for chemical sensing. Similarly, plasmons can harvest electromagnetic waves to drive exotic chemical transformations. This special topic issue highlights recent theoretical and experimental works that advance the state-of-the-art in plasmon-mediated nonlinear optics, sensing and chemistry, and reactivity. The emergence of new applications and materials that enable plasmon-mediated phenomena is also showcased.
