Nanoscale Plasmonic Emitters for Ultra-High Intensity Thermal Pulse Generation
Abstract
The objective of this project is to address the key challenges in simulating thermal pulses of nuclear outputs at small scales by developing ultra-high intensity plasmonic thermal emitters. Although plasmonic or nanophotonic structures, such as plasmonic antennas, resonant metamaterials, and photonic crystal cavities, have been identified as a common paradigm for realizing spectrally tunable and high-intensity thermal radiation, there is no general theoretical framework for designing and maximizing thermal radiation from an arbitrary nanophotonic structure.
