Abstract

We present a thermally controlled plasmonic substrate in contact with a liquid crystal offering spectral tunings similar to 18.7 nm within similar to 18 degrees C at LC nematic phase. Nematic/ isotropic transition also enables similar to 12 nm spectral change only within similar to 1 degrees C.
