Abstract

A device for sorting and concentrating electromagnetic energy impinging a surface of the device, the surface including at least one plasmonics-based surface structure or similar structure of periodic or quasi-periodic surface topography. The device is characterized in that the surface (V) is provided with at least two such surface structures (2), acting as individual concentrator structures, which are at least partially spatially overlapped or superposed.
