Optical Absorption and Thermal Effects of Plasmonic Nanostructures
Description
With resonant light illumination, metallic nanostructures convert electromagnetic fields’ energy into heat because of optical absorption associated with plasmonic resonance. The optical absorption triggers a heat generation process that involves not only the absorption of photon energy but also heat transfer from the nanostructures to the surrounding medium. In this chapter, we study enhanced optical absorption of plasmonic nanostructures. Moreover, thermal effects induced by optical absorption and heat transfer between nanostructures are analyzed.
