Photoluminescence from a gold nanotip in an accelerated reference frame
Abstract
Description
Photoluminescence from a gold nanotip, which is induced by surface plasmons propagating over a curved tapered nanotip surface is considered in a co-moving accelerated reference frame. Similar to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, nonlinear optical mixing of the surface plasmons with the Unruh quanta is supposed to be enhanced by many orders of magnitude.
