Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPP)-based subwavelength metallic structures for laser amplification, emission, and collimation were introduced in this chapter. The plasmonic structures here act as a type of microlens which is integrated together with the laser for beam shaping or collimation. Then one application of the plasmonic laser for ablation of Silicon substrate was described.
