This thesis describes pioneering research on the extension of plasmonics schemes to the regime of high-intensity lasers. By presenting a rich and balanced mix of experimentation, theory and simulation, it provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of high field plasmonics, including open issues and perspectives for future research. Combining specially designed targets and innovative materials with ultrashort, high-contrast laser pulses, the author experimentally demonstrates the effects of plasmon excitation on electron and ion emission. Lastly, the work investigates possible further developments with the help of numerical simulations, revealing the potential of plasmonics effects in the relativistic regime for advances in laser-driven sources of radiation, and for the manipulation of extreme light at the sub-micron scale.

This book highlights cutting-edge research in surface plasmons, discussing the different types and providing a comprehensive overview of their applications. Surface plasmons (SPs) receive special attention in nanoscience and nanotechnology due to their unique optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties when operating at the nanoscale. The excitation of SPs in metal nanostructures enables the manipulation of light beyond the diffraction limit, which can be utilized for enhancing and tailoring light-matter interactions and developing ultra-compact high-performance nanophotonic devices for various applications. With clear and understandable illustrations, tables, and descriptions, this book provides physicists, materials scientists, chemists, engineers, and their students with a fundamental understanding of surface plasmons and device applications as a basis for future developments.

What is a plasmon? Is it a particle, like a photon or a wave? Plasmonics stands at the frontier of condensed matter physics, which is the world of electrons, optics and of photons. Plasmonics is one of the most active fields in nanophotonics. This book begins by exploring the concepts behind waves, and the electromagnetic description of light when it interacts with metals; it dedicates every chapter thereafter to all aspects of plasmonics. In particular, the surface plasmon polariton wave is explained in full detail, as well as the localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles. The active research area opened by plasmonics, as well as its applications, are also briefly explained, such as advanced biosensing, subwavelength waveguiding, quantum plasmonics, nanoparticle-based cancer therapies, optical nano-antenna and high-efficiency photovoltaic cells.The book is adapted for graduate students and places a special emphasis on providing complete explanations of the fundamental concepts of plasmonics. Further, each of these concepts is illustrated with examples drawn from the most recent scientific literature. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises that will help the reader revise the concepts and go deeper into the world of plasmonics. More than 70 exercises are included.

Plasmonics is an important branch of optics concerned with the interaction of metals with light. Under appropriate illumination, metal nanoparticles can exhibit enhanced light absorption, becoming nanosources of heat that can be precisely controlled. This book provides an overview of the exciting new field of thermoplasmonics and a detailed discussion of its theoretical underpinning in nanophotonics. This topic has developed rapidly in the last decade, and is now a highly-active area of research due to countless applications in nanoengineering and nanomedicine. These important applications include photothermal cancer therapy, drug and gene delivery, nanochemistry and photothermal imaging. This timely and self-contained text is suited to all researchers and graduate students working in plasmonics, nano-optics and thermal-induced processes at the nanoscale.

Plasmonics is a rapidly developing field that combines fundamental research and applications ranging from areas such as physics to engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, food sciences, and the environmental sciences. Plasmonics appeared in the 1950s with the discovery of surface plasmon polaritons. Plasmonics then went through a novel propulsion in the mid-1970s, when surface-enhanced Raman scattering was discovered. Nevertheless, it is in this last decade that a very significant explosion of plasmonics and its applications has occurred. Thus, this book provides a snapshot of the current advances in these various areas of plasmonics and its applications, such as engineering, sensing, surface-enhanced fluorescence, catalysis, and photovoltaic devices.

This thesis establishes a mathematical, physical and experimental framework for description, characterization, and application of semiconductor plasmonic properties. Plasmonic phenomena in semiconductors are found in the Terahertz and far-infrared domain, where they have the potential to improve sensors or be the basis of novel devices. III-V semiconductor samples (GaAs, InP, InSb, and InAs) with various doping were analyzed spectroscopically in broad spectral range. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy together with Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy were used for characterization of the free carrier (plasmonic) and lattice (phononic) optical properties of the samples. The Drude-Lorentz model was used to describe these properties, with the addition of magneto-optical (MO) effects. High mobility semiconductors (InSb and InAs) exhibit huge free carrier magneto-optical effect for small external magnetic field. These measurements were compared to electric Hall effect measurement using Van der Pauw method. Based on the spectroscopic and MO characterization of the samples, the applicability of semiconductor as plasmonic materials is discussed. Huge advantage of semiconductors is the tunability their plasmonic properties. Three methods of controlling the plasmonic behavior of semiconductors were analyzed: Shifting of plasma frequency to higher frequencies by increasing of n-type doping concentration. Modification of the material permittivity (conductivity) tensor spectra by the external magnetic field. Shifting of plasmonic resonance by generation of nanogratings in the material, either by carrier concentration modulation by interference light illumination (sinusoidal grating) or by lithography (lamellar grating). The effective medium approximation of nanogratings was verified using Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis. An experimental application of widely tunable THz surface plasmon resonance sensor on semiconductors is presented. Generation of surface plasmon polariton at the interface between undoped InSb(InAs) and dielectric is experimentally demonstrated. This sensor has the added functionality of strong magnetic tuning. The applicability of this sensor is discussed, along with analysis of different sensor architecture.
