Abstract
Methods and devices for a plasmonic circuit are described. A planar plasmonic device is configured with a controlling gate structure and when coupled to a complementary plasmonic device, a switching circuit can be realized. Also, by varying the properties of the complementary plasmonic device, the circuit can also operate as an amplifier. By use of combinations of this plasmonic circuit element, more advanced circuits and logic functions can be arrived at.
