Electrical detection of surface plasmon polaritons via the plasmon drag effect

This thesis concerns the measurement and characterization of the Surface Plasmon Drag Effect (SPDE) in metallic structures and its application to the electrical detection of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). We demonstrate that SPPs absorbed in a metallic structure generate an electric current, whi...
