Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) are unique in their ability to manipulate light at the nanoscale. Their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) leads to strong light scattering and light absorption, which have enabled widespread biomedical applications, such as in vitro diagnostics, in vivo imaging, and therapy. The enhanced electromagnetic field around the NP surface allows for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF). The strong light absorption makes the metal NPs ideal photothermal conversion agents, thus facilitating photoacoustic (PA) imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT). In this chapter, we review the biomedical applications of metal NPs associated with SERS, MEF, and PA imaging.
