representation of the optical fields generated by a laser excitation on a gold nanorod of 40nm diameter and 4 µm length.
On small scales, light-matter interaction is likely to present physical behavior much different from that commonly encountered at the macroscopic scale. Nanophotonics covers this research topic .
One key challenge to plasmonics is the access to high resolution optical imaging techniques. To that respect, photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) offers great opportunities.
