Can information of chemical reaction propagate with plasmonic waveguide and be detected at remote terminal of nanowire?

Nanoscale. 2011 Oct 5;3(10):4114-6. doi: 10.1039/c1nr10981b. Epub 2011 Sep 19.

Abstract

We attempt to provide experimental and theoretical evidence that information of chemical reaction can propagate with plasmonic waveguide along the nanowire and be detected at the remote terminal of nanowire, where the chemical reaction is the surface catalyzed reaction of DMAB produced from PATP assisted by surface plasmon polaritons.
