Abstract
The evolution of the optical absorptive effects exhibited by plasmonic nanoparticles was systematically analyzed by electronic signals modulated by a Rössler attractor system. A sol-gel approach was employed for the preparation of the studied Au nanoparticles embedded in a TiO2 thin solid film. The inclusion of the nanoparticles in an inhomogeneous biological sample integrated by human cells deposited in an ITO glass substrate was evaluated with a high level of sensitivity using an opto-electronic chaotic circuit. The optical response of the nanoparticles was determined using nanosecond laser pulses in order to guarantee the sensing performance of the system. It was shown that high-intensity irradiances at a wavelength of 532 nm could promote a change in the absorption band of the localized surface plasmon resonance associated with an increase in the nanoparticle density of the film. Moreover, it was revealed that interferometrically-controlled energy transfer mechanisms can be useful for thermo-plasmonic functions and sharp selective optical damage induced by the vectorial nature of light. Immediate applications of two-wave mixing techniques, together with chaotic effects, can be contemplated in the development of nanostructured sensors and laser-induced controlled explosions, with potential applications for biomedical photo-thermal processes.
