	Apparatus and method for generation of high harmonics from silicon
Extracting information from fast-evolving events requires a probe signal that is shorter in duration than the time of the event. Lasers may be used for optical probes, but they are generally limited to femtosecond timescales. Thus,

	Metal-insulator-semiconductor devices based on surface plasmon polaritons
Plasmon waveguides may be used as a modulator or photodetector. Such waveguides are said have either an Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) or Surface Plasmon Polaritrons (SPPs) architecture. In the case of ATR a out-of-plane optical
