• 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..
Relate the plasmonic excitations and applications
1. Electromagnetism of metals and plasmon.
2. Surface plasmon polariton
3. Localized surface plasmas
4. Characterisation and applications of localised surface plasmons
