Miniaturizing optical connections
and controlling optical processes at the
subwavelength scale are expected key technologies
not only for the future of data processing but also
for the development of various sensors needed in
nanotechnologies. Among other strategies, a
promising perspective shows up from the research
works on optical nanodevices involving surface
plasmon polaritons sustained by nanostructures, also
called plasmonics. During the last years, European
laboratories succeeded to build a significant
advance over concurrent groups of other continents.
To ensure the definitive European leadership in this
field of research with a high potential of
industrial applications, it is now essential to
federate the human and technical resources spread in
Europe into a Network of Excellence aimed at
developing prototypes of surface plasmon nanodevices
for controlling optical processes at the
subwavelength scale. In the framework of well
identified scientific and technical objectives, the
participating organizations propose as aim of the
present network of excellence to test an alternative
structure of the management, evaluation and decision
making mechanisms of research projects in order to
improve the incisive and target oriented character
of the research program.
