Energy transfer between surface plasmon polariton modes with hybrid photorefractive liquid crystal cells

In this thesis, a hybrid photorefractive liquid crystal cell structure with the addition of a thin 40nm Gold layer is proposed that demonstrates significant photorefractive control of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP). The photorefractive effects are generated through optically controlling the conduc...
