In order to prove the concept, the nano-antenna characterization had to be performed on a suitable device. The metal chosen was silver because of its favourable plasmonic properties in the visible spectmm [39]. The optimum parameters for the nano-antennas were calculated according to literature [34],...

Another type of structures for metal-dielectric mirrors are metallodielectric multilayers. In this case alternating quarterwave or subwavelength stacks of metal and dielectric are deposited. Typical for such multilayers is alow reflection in visible, but large in infrared wavelength range. Thus they basically behave as low-pass optical filters. Such stmctures were denoted in literature as heat mirrors. First heat mirrors were fabricated as early as in 1950s [252]. The simplest heat mirrors consist of three layers only, dielectric-metal-dielectric or, alternatively, dielectric-transparent conductive oxide-dielectric [253]. Full multilayer metal-dielectric reflectors with binary but also ternary layers were also considered [254]. Because of their high reflectance in infrared, but also because of their plasmonic properties [255] metal-dielectric multilayer mirrors are of interest for cavity enhancement of infrared detectors. 

Clearly, many research groups are working to understand and time the plasmonic properties of noble metal nanostructures. The relationship between the LSPR and parameters such as nanoparticle size or refractive index of the local environment is relatively straightforward. On the other hand, parameters such as nanoparticle shape or lattice spacing present more complex behavior. The theoretical work done with both... 

Another common configuration in plasmonics is a particle upon or near semi-infinite substrate. This substrate may have no plasmonic properties by itself, e.g. glass, but it still modifies the light scattering properties of the nanoparticle. The FDTD, the FIT, and the FEM can naturally handle such problems, because the effect of the interface is automatically accounted by the part of the substrate falling into the computational domain, when appropriate absorbing boundary conditions are used [11,13].
