Abstract

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the study of the optical properties of metallic nanostructures. This interest is primarily related to the practical application of such nanostructures in quantum optical computers, micro- and nanosensors. These applications are based on the fundamental optical effect of excitation of surface plasmons. Surface plasmons are electromagnetic excitations of electron plasma of metals at the metal-dielectric interface, which are accompanied by fluctuations in the surface charge density. The consequence of this phenomenon is surface plasmon resonance (SPR) – an increase in the energy absorption cross-section of a metal nanoparticle as the light frequency (laser irradiation) approaches to the frequency of the nanoparticle SPR. The SPR frequency for metallic nanoparticles in a dielectric matrix is found. Using the kinetic subdivision, the components of the optical power tensor for ellipsoidal metal nanoparticles were developed.
