Plasmonic enhancement

Plasmonic enhancement involves using tiny metal structures to amplify light signals at the nanoscale. When light hits these structures, it causes electrons to oscillate collectively, creating strong localized electromagnetic fields. This intensified field boosts the interaction between light and nearby molecules or materials, improving the sensitivity of sensors, solar cells, or medical imaging devices. Essentially, plasmonic enhancement acts like a microscopic antenna, concentrating light energy to make detection or energy capture more efficient.
