Manipulating light at the nanoscale
Nanoscale plasmonics would allow us to have optical and electronic components on the same chip. Optical components can give fast transmission and data processing at the speed of light. In fact, using optical interconnects to replace the electrical ones would solve the problem of limited bus transmission speed between processor cores due to parasitic losses in the copper wires. Nanophotonics also supports a high density of integration (large number of functional devices over a very small area) for a wide range of on-chip applications such as optical interconnects, multisensor chips, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
