What can Plasmonics Bring to Microwave Photonics?

Plasmonics is increasingly recognized as a technology to complement photonics when speed and footprint matter. Recently, novel plasmonic detectors and modulators with sub-THz bandwidths have emerged. They might form the key building blocks of a future microwave plasmonic platform.
