Abstract
In two chapters we will give a detailed introduction into the field of computational plasmonics. The present chapter covers the essential theoretical background of modern plasmonics, based on simple models of light-matter interactions. We will focus on the physical properties of bulk plasmons, surface plasmon polaritons and localized plasmons, and give a number of analytical and numerical examples. As a motivation for the more detailed numerical studies described in Chap. 12, and as an example for new types of technological applications, we also present the field of plasmon enhanced solar cells and other exciting new research directions.
