Abstract: Circuits and circuit elements adapted to function at optical or infrared frequencies are made from plasmonic and/or nonplasmonic particles disposed on a substrate, where the plasmonic and nonplasmonic particles have respective dimensions substantially smaller than a wavelength of an applied optical or infrared signal. Such particles are deposited on a substrate in a variety of shapes and sizes from a variety of plasmonic and/or nonplasmonic materials so as to form resistors, capacitors, inductors and circuits made from combinations of these elements.

Planar negative refractive index media using periodically L-C loaded transmission lines
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an alternate perspective on the design and function of such materials that exploits the well-known L-C distributed network representation of homogeneous dielectrics.
Circuit Elements at Optical Frequencies: Nanoinductors, Nanocapacitors, and Nanoresistors
TL;DR: Three basic circuit elements, i.e., nanoinductors, nanocapacitors, and nanoresistors, are discussed in terms of small nanostructures with different material properties, which may provide road maps for the synthesis of more complex circuits in the IR and visible bands.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmons are realized by a prism coupling arrangement involving an opaque aluminum screen for a distinct separation of excitation and propagation region, and the surface plasmon propagation length as a function of film widths is measured by detecting stray light due to surface plasar scattering with a conventional optical microscope.

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for interrogating a target having a plurality of plasmon resonant particles (PREs) distributed in the target are disclosed, where a field containing the target is illuminated, and one or more spectral emission characteristics of the light-scattering particles in the field are detected.

Forward coupling phenomena between artificial left-handed transmission lines
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-lumped element microstrip implementation of a left-handed coupler is proposed and it is demonstrated that this coupler requires a shorter coupling length in comparison with the conventional right-handed coupled-line forward couplers and hence makes the device much more compact.
