物理学-基于表面等离子体效应的光开关研究现状和进展（Physics - research and development of optical switches based on surface plasmon effect） Keywords surface plasmon subwavelength optics, optical switch, optical bistability, summarized in in in AbstractGreat attention is being paid to surface plasmons (SPs) because of their potential applications in sensors, data storage and bio-photonics. Recently, more and more optical switches based on surface plasmon effects have been demonstrated either by simulation or experimentally. This article describes the principles, advantages and disadvantages of various types of optical switches based on SPs, in particular the all-optical in switches. Keywordssurface plasmons, subwavelength optics, optical switch, optical bistability, overview X x 1 introduction the The surface plasmon is localized on the metal surface, an electromagnetic wave propagating along the surface, the structure of the metal surface, can control the excitation and propagation of surface plasmon in the nanometer scale, especially the mutual coupling it with light 1. This can be regulated in the new type of photonics, especially the very aspects of design and application the potential of Anami Nagahikaruko devices, dynamic regulation at present how to effectively carry out the surface plasma is an important research direction, is the realization of the main light switch based on surface plasmon resonance effect (referred to below SPs optical switch).SPs optical switch is in the excitation of the SPs switch structure, by changing the external conditions that affect the excitation of SPs or transmission characteristics, and a new type of optical switch effect. With the production technology continues to mature, SPs optical switch using the physical mechanism and new physics The structure, control can be realized in less than the diffraction limit of scale, in the nanometer scale to realize the integration of photonic devices 2, so the SPs optical switch has a unique advantage in speed and
