The ability to tailor a coherent surface plasmon polariton (SPP) field is an important step towards a number of new opportunities for a broad range of nanophotonic applications such as sensing [1,2], nano-circuitry [3,4], optical data…

The Binary Space Partitioning-Tree~(BSP-Tree) process was recently proposed as an efficient strategy for space partitioning tasks. Because it uses more than one dimension to partition the space, the BSP-Tree Process is more efficient and…
