Labs to Develop Nanoplasmonic Devices

The European Commission Framework Programme 6 project, Polymer-Based Nanoplasmonic Components and Devices (Plasmocom), has been launched. This Information Society Technologies Specific Targeted Research Project brings together European plasmonics laboratories to develop concepts for micro- and nanoscale dynamic and active photonic components based on metal/polymer structures. The goal is to create the technology to integrate nanophotonic components with enhanced functionality for optical signal processing, on-electronic-chip optical interconnects and broadband optical applications.
