Fabrication of Plasmonic Glasses based on Gold Nanoparticles for Color blindness Management

For the first time at Magneto-plasmonic Lab of Laser and Plasma Research Institute, Shahid Beheshti University

Color blindness is a common ocular disorder that prohibits the recognition of different colors, and many people worldwide (8-10% of males and 0.4-0.5% of females) suffer from this disorder. Despite numerous efforts, no definitive cure for color blindness has yet been discovered, but many color filter-based aids such as tinted glasses and contact lenses were developed to help color blind people. For the first time, plasmonic glasses based on gold nanoparticles were fabricated using two innovative methods of simple self-assembly technique and heat treatment of the gold thin films and evaluated for color blindness management by the magneto-plasmonic lab at shahid Beheshti university. The fabricated plasmonic glasses based on gold nanoparticles are more selective than commercial Enchroma and VINO glasses due to the tunability of plasmonic properties of gold NPs by controlling their morphology, which provides new insights for applications of color vision deficiency improvement.
