Abstract: Nanostructured shapes comprising at least a first part and a second part. The first part has a longitudinal axis L and comprises a first absorbing material and an emitting material. The second part is connected to the first part and comprises a second absorbing material. The second part mainly absorbs light with direction of polarization other than the long axis L of the first part, and the nanostructured shape emits light mainly polarized along the long axis L of the first part. The disclosure further relates to an assembly of nanostructured shapes, to a method of synthesizing nanostructured shapes and to a polarizing light emitting plate comprising such nanostructured shapes.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a substrate for generating surface plasmons (SPs) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) by means of an excitation radiation, wherein the substrate has a carrier layer and a coating with gold or silver. A surface of the carrier layer is provided with identical surface structures arranged in an array of rows and columns. The surface structures are recesses with an elongate shape which are arranged with a first periodicity (PH) and with a second periodicity (PV) in direction of the rows and orthogonal to the direction of the rows, respectively. The invention is further directed to a method for the production of the substrate and to uses of the substrate.
