Quantum-dot-induced transparency in a nanoscale plasmonic resonator

Optics Express – Quantum-dot-induced transparency in a nanoscale plasmonic resonator (13 pages) We investigate the near-field optical coupling between a single semiconductor nanocrystal (quantum dot) and a nanometer-scale plasmonic metal resonator using rigorous electrodynamic simulations. Our calculations show that the quantum dot produces a dip in both the extinction and scattering spectra of the surface-plasmon …

IBM promises commercial silicon nanophotonics in 2011

IBM’s all silicon optical transceivers house modulators, wave guides, wavelength-division multiplexers, switches and detectors all cast the same CMOS die. EETimes – Silicon chips will be communicating with pulses of light instead of electrical charge starting in 2011, according to International Business Machines Corp * IBM (Armonk, N.Y.) heralded silicon nanophotonics as the enabler for …
