Abstract
A number of optical phenomena experiences a giant enhancement in metal nanocomposites and rough thin films consisting of small nm-sized particles and roughness features, respectively. The major contribution to this enhancement originates from the large local electromagnetic fields caused by the resonant optical excitation of surface plasmons.
