How Do Plasmonic Structures Contribute to Optoelectronics?
Plasmonic structures exploit the interaction between light and free electrons in metallic nanostructures, leading to enhanced electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. These structures are used to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic cells, optical sensors, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Plasmonic structures can concentrate light into small volumes, enabling the development of ultra-sensitive detection systems.
