• Resumen

  • Purpose – In this contribution, the aim is to present a nanoparticle device, operating in the visible regime based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon.

    Design/methodology/approach – The nanoparticle electromagnetic properties are evaluated by a new analytical model and compared to the results obtained by numerical analysis.

    Findings – A near-field enhancement is obtained by arranging the nanoparticles in a linear array. Analytical formulas, describing such enhancement, are presented.

    Originality/value – The results demonstrate the possibility to use the proposed device for medical diagnostics and optoelectronics applications.
