Size Characterisation Method and Detection Enhancement of Plasmonic Nanoparticles in a Pump–Probe System

The optical resonance of metal nanoparticles can be used to enhance the generation and detection of their main vibrational mode. In this work, we show that this method allows the accurate characterisation of the particle’s size because the vibrational frequency of plasmonic nanoparticles only depend...
