摘要
Given the interdisciplinary challenges in materials sciences, chemistry, physics, and biology, as well as the demands to merge electronics and photonics at the nanometer scale for miniaturized integrated circuits, plasmonics serves as a bridge by breaking the limit in the speed of nanoscale electronics and the size of terahertz dielectric photonics. Active plasmonic systems enabling active control over the plasmonic properties in real time have opened up a wealth of potential applications. This review focuses on the development of active plasmonic response devices. Significant advances have been achieved in control over the dielectric properties of the active surrounding medium, including liquid crystals, polymers, photochromic molecules and inorganic materials, which in turn allows tuning of the reversible plasmon resonance switch of neighboring metal nanostructures.
在科学，化学，物理，和生物学，以及在纳米合并电子学和 photonics 的要求为使小型化的集成电路放大的材料给学科交差的挑战， plasmonics 由处于 nanoscale 电子学的速度和兆兆赫电介质 photonics 的尺寸打破限制用作一座桥。在实时在 plasmonic 性质上启用活跃控制的活跃 plasmonic 系统开创了很多潜在的应用程序。这评论集中于活跃 plasmonic 反应设备的发展。重要进展在对活跃包围媒介的绝缘的性质的控制被完成了，包括液体晶体，聚合物，对光反应变色分子和无机的材料，它接着允许附近的金属 nanostructures 的可逆电浆子回声开关调节。
