Popis: For future ultrafast opto-electronic circuits, optical signals must be interfaced with coherent electronic signals. The authors develop asymmetric plasmonic nanojunctions that convert fs light pulses to THz electronic transients that can propagate on-chip for up to a mm, enabling such an interface.
