Transformation optics approach to mesoscopic plasmonics
Fan Yang, Kun Ding
Abstract
The development of nanofabrication brings the nanostructure to a scale of a few nanometers or even subnanometer, where the quantum effects of electrons become essential in the optical response. This work establishes an analytical method that combines transformation optics and Feibelman $d$ parameters to investigate the nonclassical effects of plasmonic systems. The introduction of the $d$ parameter incorporates most of the quantum effects, while transformation optics vastly simplifies the problem by converting the complex nanostructure in physical space into a simple slab geometry in virtual space.
