Plasmonic losses have significant implications for various applications in nanotechnology:
Sensing: High plasmonic losses can reduce the sensitivity of plasmonic sensors, affecting their ability to detect low concentrations of analytes. Energy Harvesting: In photovoltaic cells, plasmonic losses can decrease the efficiency of light absorption and conversion to electrical energy. Communication: In plasmonic waveguides, increased losses can limit the distance over which signals can be transmitted without significant attenuation.
