Abstract
A nanoscale wireless communication system and device operates via in-plane information transmission between a broadcast plasmonic antenna and a receiver plasmonic antenna which mediates a three-step conversion process (surface plasmon→photon→surface plasmon) with in-plane and in-phase efficiency (plasmon→plasmon) in the free-space excitation wavelength for antenna separations in the far-field.
