ENERGY AUGMENTATION STRUCTURES, ENERGY EMITTERS OR ENERGY COLLECTORS CONTAINING THE SAME, AND THEIR USE IN PLASMONICS ENHANCED METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TREATING CELL PROLIFERATION DISORDERS

摘要

An emission enhancement structure having at least one energy augmentation structure; and an energy converter capable of receiving energy from an energy source, converting the energy and emitting therefrom a light of a different energy than the received energy. The energy converter is disposed in a vicinity of the at least one energy augmentation structure such that the emitted light is emitted with an intensity larger than if the converter were remote from the at least one energy augmentation structure. Also described are various uses for the energy emitters, energy augmentation structures and energy collectors in a wide array of fields.
