LIGHT SELECTION IN METAL-DIELECTRIC NANOCOMPOSITES OF SUBWAVELENGTH LAYERED STRUCTURE

摘要

Metal-dielectric nanocomposites are widely used today for a large variety of applications. In many cases, these applications are connected with unique light selection properties of metalline nanostructures. Their optical properties in the visible and UV spectral regions are extremely modified due to the appearance of plasmon-polariton absorbance bands [1] which are strongly dependent on particles sizes, shapes, and concentration.
