【 摘 要 】

The ultraconfined light of plasmonic modes puts their effective wavelength close to the mean-free path of electrons inside the metal electron gas. The Drude model, which can not take the repulsive interactions of electrons into account, then clearly begins to show its limits. In an intermediate length scale where a full quantum treatment is computationally prohibitive, the semiclassical hydrodynamic model, instrinsically nonlocal, has proven successful. Here we generalize the expression for the absorption volume density and the reciprocity theorem in the framework of this hydrodynamic model. We validate numerically these generalized theorems and show that using classical expressions instead leads to large discrepancies.
