Abstract
In recent years, society has become more concerned about global warming, and there is a strong demand
for power generation that does not emit, or emits less CO2 and for technological development (green innovation)
that contributes to reducing energy consumption. In the field of plasmonics and metamaterials,
on the other hand, the main subject is the improvement of the performance and the realization of
new functions in optical devices by artificially modifying both the electromagnetic field itself and its interaction
with matter. These possibilities of radiation field control are expected to help to achieve the
developments of technologies that can contribute to the green innovation.
