How are Enhanced Electromagnetic Fields Generated?
Enhanced electromagnetic fields can be generated through several mechanisms:
Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR): This occurs when conduction electrons on the surface of metallic nanostructures oscillate in resonance with incident light. Nanoantennas: Structures that can confine and enhance electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. Photonic Crystals: These materials can manipulate light in such a way that it enhances the electromagnetic field within certain regions.
