Theoretical notions to be mastered at the end of the course: optical properties of metals, volume plasmons, surface plasmons-polaritons, localized surface plasmons, excitation methods. To understand the fields of application of plasmonics. Know how to use digital tools to solve a plasmonics problem.
• Understand the key concepts of plasmonics such as the optical properties of metals, volume plasmons, surface plasmon-polaritons, localized surface plasmons. • Mobilise these theoretical concepts in order to understand the resulting applications. • Use numerical codes to solve a given plasmonics problem.
