Description

Surface plasmon polaritons are the light of the nanoworld, with a broad spectrum of special properties. These properties open the field for a high number of applications, both in the fields of low and high exciting laser intensities The expected effects caused by these plasmons are briefly presented. We have chosen localized plasmons (LSPP) which have been resonantly excited by ultrashort (n.10fs) , high intensity (up to n.1017 W/cm2) pulses of Ti:Sa lasers.Resonant gold nanoparticles were implanted into a transparent polymer. The intense laser pulses create craters in the studied samples. The volume of these craters is presented as the function of the exciting laser intensity for the samples with and without resonant gold nanoparticles as well as the creation of deuterium atoms in the nanoparticle seeded sample detected with Raman and LIBS spectroscopy. The preliminary data indicate significant energy production and also the nuclear trasmutation (hydrogen to deuterium), clearly proving the decisive role of the unique properties of the LSPP-s. Data obtained by other techniques ( mass spectrometry ,Thompson parabola detection) are also presented.
