Abstract

Recently, plasmonic is given very much interest in analysis as a likely to manner to improvement in photonic extinction in solar cell structure. Its main expose is to concentrate and enhance the optical field due to strong interaction in plasmonic nanostructure that manipulates and concentrate photonic propagation at nano-dimension length scales. When light incident on the surface of plasmonic nanostructures it can excite mostly the valence electron gas which oscillates at the plasmonic frequency. In this paper, we have modeled finite-difference time domain based analysis for plasmonic nanostructure for manipulating various plasmonic field components with eigenvalue and characterized optical improvement including photonic absorption and scattering cross sections as well as extinction in plasmonic thin-film solar cell.
