WHAT IS PLASMONICS?
The term plasmonics is derived from plasmons It is the technology of transmitting light like waves along nanoscale wires A technology that squeezes electromagnetic waves into minuscule structures Mechanism: Light beam striking a metal surface generates plasmons, electron density waves that can carry huge amounts of data

Advantages
Plasmonics
Disadvantages
For sending data even longer distances, the technology would need even more improvement
Plasmons tends to dissipate after only a few millimetres, making them too short-lived to serve as a basis for computer chips, which are a few centimetres across
Plasmonics
Applications
Plasmonic LED SPASER: Plasmonic analog of LASER
Plasmonics
CONCLUSION
It will drive us to a communication network world of high speed
Finally, Plasmonics offers precisely what electronics and photonics do not have: the size of electronics and the speed of photonics
