Abstract
The interaction between dyes and plasmonic metals has been widely studied in numerous frameworks. In the previous chapter, a new propagation regime has been introduced in which a suitably dimensioned HMM can collimate light with unprecedented resolution. It has been explained that such a regime, called Epsilon-near-zero-and-pole (ENZP), is characterized by high losses in the visible. In this chapter, it will be shown how to compensate losses in the ENZP regime by means of a particular fluorescent blend designed appositely.
