Is this(SPP) the same behavior as one would expect to observe in the case of a very high 'Q' resonator at optical frequencies? If so, it would also likely exhibit a highly stable narrow band frequency response.
Can the resonant frequency of one of these structures be tuned by a second external magnetic or electric field? It would not be too difficult to visualize the difficulty in achieving the conditions needed for LENR if these types of components were critical for its operation. I recall discussions about trapped photons coupled with electrons. Obviously if an SPP decays in isolation the photon should be at the same frequency as the original one. And, if many additional photons can be absorbed into one of these containers should they not be required to remain at the same frequency as the original while the electric and magnetic fields build up in magnitude? If these are indeed optical cavities a standing wave magnetic and electric field would be present. Just questions and speculation. Does anyone know the answers to these questions?

These rare earth elements have potential optoelectronic applications due to their performance of photoluminescence and electroluminescence. These rare earth elements may increase the optical pumping process during the formation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoluminescence Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons(electromagnetic radiation). It is one of many forms of luminescence (light emission) and is initiated by photoexcitation(excitation by photons), hence the prefix photo-. Following excitation various relaxation processes typically occur in which other photons are re-radiated. Time periods between absorption and emission may vary: ranging from short femtosecond-regime for emission involving free-carrier plasma in inorganic semiconductors up to milliseconds for phosphorescent processes in molecular systems; and under special circumstances delay of emission may even span to minutes or hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroluminescence Electroluminescence (EL) is an optical phenomenon and electrical phenomenonin which a material emits light in response to the passage of an electric current or to a strong electric field. The roles of these elements may be to stimulate optical gain in the SPP radiation process as a way to compensate for the losses incurred in the formation of SPPs encounter due to dispersion.
