Nano-plasmonics

Integrated infrared up-conversion devices using nano-plasmonic materials and nano-photonic structures

This project is being undertaken by a research consortium led by BGU involving engineering, materials and chemistry research groups. The aim is to develop an integrated material device which allows direct imaging in the infra-red. We are doing theory and modelling of transport and absorption of infra-red photons in support of the design of novel materials and structures. In particular, we are focused on transport in nanometric media mixtures of metal and semiconductor particles and in the absorption of infrared photons in a medium of photosensitive Lead-Salt colloid nano-particles to produce electron-hole pairs.
