Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly
with Russian colleagues and researchers from Technical University
of Denmark the first time have experimentally proved the existence
of a two-dimensional (2D) curved flux of plasmonic quasiparticles,
a plasmonic hook. A flat 2D hook is smaller than a 3D hook and
possesses new properties, due to them, the researchers consider it
as the most promising transmitter in high-speed microoptical
circuits. The research findings are published in Applied Physics
Letters journal.
