一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>
<br>This course introduces fundamental optics of plasmonic materials with an emphasis on the underlying mechanisms and their applications. Topics include Surface plasmon polaritons at me<x>tal/insulator interfaces, localized surface plasmons, plasmon waveguides and sensors. 
<br>
<br>本門課將分為上下學期教授，涵蓋無機材料的基礎光學性質(上學期)以及表面電漿(下學期)，並著重介紹無機材料在生醫工程及奈米光電之應用。在下學期的課程中，將以良好光學基礎為主軸，引導學生從邏輯思考進而瞭解金屬材料的表面電漿原理，同時增強學生應有的實驗理論，包含基礎電磁波理論、金屬/介電材料界面電漿現象、定域表面電漿共振，並進行其在國際間尖端應用之介紹。
