Abstract
A communication system includes a two-dimensional array of a plurality of plasmonic nano-antennas. Each plasmonic nano-antenna supports a surface plasmon polariton wave. A plurality of communications elements each excite a corresponding one of the plasmonic nano-antennas, thereby causing a surface plasmon polariton wave that corresponds to a signal to form on each of the plasmonic nano-antennas.
