Abstract

Nanoplasmonics represents one of the most extensive research fields in optics on the nanoscale and has emerging applications in sensors, light-emitting and photovoltaic devices. It offers a number of positive effects on photonic materials and devices and can be combined with existing technologies by a number of approaches, the colloidal techniques representing the easiest implementation in the existing and emerging photonic components and devices. Plasmonic effects are discussed in terms of the three major physical phenomena (incident field enhancement, photon density of states enhancement, non-radiative decay rate enhancement) in the context of various photonic processes and devices including absorption, Raman scattering, photo- and electroluminescence, photovoltaics, photochemistry and photodetectors. Pros and contras with respect to every practical task are discussed taking into account interplay of the above plasmonic effects in every task.
