Nanoparticle device for biomedical and optoelectronics applications

Iovine, Renato; La Spada, Luigi; Vegni, Lucio

Abstract

In this contribution, the aim is to present a nanoparticle device, operating in the visible regime based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon.
The nanoparticle electromagnetic properties are evaluated by a new analytical model and compared to the results obtained by numerical analysis.
A near-field enhancement is obtained by arranging the nanoparticles in a linear array. Analytical formulas, describing such enhancement, are presented.
The results demonstrate the possibility to use the proposed device for medical diagnostics and optoelectronics applications
