Abstract
A surface plasmon polaritron activated semiconductor device uses a surface plasmon wire that functions as an optical waveguide for fast communication of a signal and functions as a energy translator using a wire tip for translating the optical signal passing through the waveguide into plasmon-polaritron energy at a connection of the semiconductor device, such as a transistor, to activate the transistor for improved speed of communications and switching for preferred use in digital systems.
