Thermoplasmonics
HeatingMetalNanoparticlesUsingLight
Plasmonics is an important branch of optics concerned with the interaction of metals with light.
Underappropriateillumination,metalnanoparticlescanexhibitenhancedlightabsorption,becom-
ing nanosources of heat that can be precisely controlled. This book provides an overview of the
exciting new field of thermoplasmonics and a detailed discussion of its theoretical underpinnings
in nanophotonics. This topic has developed rapidly in the last decade, and is now a highly active
areaofresearchduetocountlessapplicationsinnanoengineeringandnanomedicine.Theseimpor-
tant applications include photothermal cancer therapy, drug and gene delivery, nanochemistry and
photothermalimaging.Thistimelyandself-containedtextissuitedtoallresearchersandgraduate

GuillaumeBaffou is a CNRS Research Scientist at the Institut Fresnel in Marseille. His research is
focused on the interface between nano-optics and small-scale thermal effects. Specifically, he has
beeninvestigatingtheinteractionbetweenlightandplasmonicmetalnanoparticles,andtheresulting
applications in physics, chemistry, and biology. In 2015 he was awarded the bronze medal of the
CNRSinrecognitionofhisimportantcontributionstothefield.

Foreword
In the spring of 1999 I was working at my desk at C. P. M. O. H. (Centre de physique
moléculaire optique et hertzienne) in Bordeaux when I received an unexpected phone
call from Claude Boccara from E. S. P. C. I. (École supérieure de physique et de chimie
industriellesdelavilledeParis)inParis.Claudehadbeenparticularlyinterestedinpho-
toacousticandphotothermalspectroscopies,ashehadusedthemtooptimizethemirrorsof
theVIRGOgravitationalwavedetector.1HeaskedmeaboutworkbyaJapanesecolleague
– it turned out to be Tsuguo Sawada from Tokyo University – who used a thermal-lens
microscope to detect very weak concentrations of molecules, potentially even down to
singlemolecules.2,3 Ididnotknowthework,butaswewerethinkingofdetectingsingle
moleculesatroomtemperaturethroughtheirabsorptioninsteadoftheirfluorescence,Iwas
immediatelythrilledtolearnaboutthisnewpossibility.Someweekslater,Iattendedatalk
byDavidA.SchultzfromSanDiegoaboutapplicationsofgoldnanoparticlesinbioimag-
ing.4Puttingthesetwopiecesofinformationtogether,Iproposedthatmyyoungcolleagues
Philippe Tamarat and Abdelhamid Maali should start with the photothermal detection of
gold nanoparticles instead of trying the absorption of single molecules at room tempera-
ture.Indeed,thesegoldnanoparticlesneitherbleachnorblink,andtheyexistindifferent
sizes. This makes it much easier to optimize a technique on large nanoparticles before
attemptingtodetectsmallerones.ContrarytotheworkofTsuguo Sawada andTakehiko
Kitamori,whoinvestigatedfluidsuspensionsinwhichdiffusingmoleculescouldenterand
leave the detection volume during the detection period, we decided to work on immobi-
lizedgoldnanoparticles,withwhichwehadpreviousexperience.Afurtheradvantage of
