Abstract

In this chapter we give a brief introduction in the preparation and the optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles. We explain that their unique optical behavior is due to resonant absorption and scattering of light by the nanoparticles, i.e. by surface plasmon resonance’s. We show the influence of various parameters on the optical properties and demonstrate how the optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles can be tailored for certain applications. Finally, we highlight four intriguing applications, based on the expertise of the authors.
