Non–diffraction-limited light transport by gold nanowires

Joachim R. Krenn , Bernhard Lamprecht , Harald Ditlbacher +4 more

We show that metal nanowires sustaining collective electron oscillations (surface plasmon polaritons) can be used as optical waveguides. Thereby, the use of a metal allows to ov...
