*A primer on Nanoplasmonics.* The concentration mechanism is a resonant constructive interference process called Fano interference discovered a few years ago. It produces the “hot spot”, which is the most significant and exciting process in Nanoplasmonics. Much current research into hot spots is currently underway. Laser light is used to produce dipole vibrations in the nanoparticles. A Laser only produces plain waves and excites dipole excitation poorly. The lattice of a metal produces dipole vibrations in the deep infrared far better than a laser ever can. The Ni/H reactor couples heat with surface electrons to produce polaritons at high efficiency and then the nano-particles concentrate the EMF in extreme concentrations.
