dc.descriptionCarrying digital information in traditional copper wires is becoming a major issue in electronic circuits. Optical connections such as fiber optics offers unprecedented transfer capacity, but the mismatch between the optical wavelength and the transistors size drastically reduces the coupling efficiency. By merging the abilities of photonics and electronics, surface plasmon photonics, or 'plasmonics' exhibits strong potential. Here, we propose an original approach to fully understand the nature of surface electrons in plasmonic systems, by experimentally demonstrating that surface plasmons can be modeled as a phase of surface waves. First and second order phase transitions, associated with percolation transitions, have been experimentally observed in the building process of surface plasmons in lattice of subwavelength apertures. Percolation theory provides a unified framework for surface plasmons description.
