Abstract :
Summary form only given. Metal-dielectric nanostructured materials, which can support various plasmon modes, open new avenues for manipulating light with light itself and sensing molecules with unsurpassed sensitivity. Fundamentals of electromagnetic and optical properties of micro- and nano-structured metal-dielectric composites, both ordered and disordered, are reviewed in this presentation.
