Optical Properties of Nanostructured Metallic Systems

Studied with the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

by Sergio G. Rodrigo ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
The common belief is that light is completely reflected by metals. In reality they also exhibit an amazing property that is not so widely known: under some conditions light flows along a metallic surface as if it were glued to it. Physical phenomena related to these light waves, which are called Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP), have given rise to the research field of plasmonics.This thesis ... Read more
