Light-matter interaction in planar plasmonic and metamaterial systems: equilibrium and non-equilibrium effects (Conference Presentation)

摘要: Certain plasmonic and derived systems such as hyperbolic metamaterials promise large broadband enhancements of the photonic density states which, in turn, lead to corresponding light-matter interaction. In this talk, recent theoretical advances regarding most simple settings, i.e., planar materials one- zero-photon effects (spontaneous emission, Casimir-Polder force, quantum friction) will be discussed with an emphasis appropriateness different material models [1,2] validity certain approximation schemes Markov local thermal equilibrium [3,4,5].
