The common belief is that light is completely reflected by metals. In reality they also exhibit an amazing property that is not so widely known: under some conditions light flows along a metallic surface as if it were glued to it. Physical phenomena related to these light waves, which are called Surface Plaon Polaritons (SPP), have given rise to the research field of plaonics. This thesis explores four interesting topics within plaonics: extraordinary optical tranission, negative refractive index metamaterials, plaonic devices for controlling SPPs, and field enhancement phenomena near metal nanoparticles.
