TL;DR: This work identifies modes of compound nature, i.e. those exhibiting both localized and propagating characteristics, and discusses which plasmon modes can exhibit such a behavior in the system at hand and how structural parameters play a central part in the spectral response of such modes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a surface integral formulation that accurately describes the extreme near-field of a plasmonic nanoparticle in addition to its far-field properties is presented, giving insight into the mechanisms of surface enhanced Raman scattering and single-molecule detection techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Green's tensor is used with a complex optical background (surface, cavity or stratified medium) to reduce the computation effort associated with scattering calculations in that background.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the far-field temporal dynamics of the linear and nonlinear responses of a silver nanorod driven by femtosecond pulses and show that the plasmons lifetime is observable in the decaying field oscillations surviving after the exciting pulse, for both processes, and fits with the damped harmonic oscillator model.

TL;DR: A new optical biosensor allowing sensitive and dynamic measurements of H2O2 in real-time using multiscattering enhanced absorption spectroscopy is focused on, based on sensitive absorption measurements of the heme protein cytochrome c whose absorption spectrum alters with the oxidation state of constituent ferrous FeII and ferric FeIII.
