摘要 |
An optoelectronic device and method utilizing nanometer-scale particles arranged along a preselected path, each particle being capable of polarization. The particles are spaced apart such that polarization of one of the particles acts to induce polarization in adjacent particles, enabling electromagnetic energy to be transferred, modulated, filtered or otherwise processed by the device. In a specific embodiment, a chain of such particles may be arranged in a configuration having a variety of different angles, sharp corners and junctions, without adversely affecting device efficiency.
