Abstract

Photoluminescence from metal nanostructuresfollowing intense ultrashortillumination is a fundamental aspect of light-matter interactions.Surprisingly, many of its basic characteristics are under ongoingdebate. Here, we resolve many of these debates by providing a comprehensivetheoretical framework that describes this phenomenon and support itby an experimental confirmation. Specifically, we identify aspectsof the emission that are characteristic to either nonthermal or thermalemission, in particular, differences in the spectral and electricfield dependence of these two contributions to the emission. Overall,nonthermal emission is characteristic of the early stages of lightemission, while the later stages show thermal characteristics. Theformer dominate only for moderately high illumination intensitiesfor which the electron temperature reached after thermalization remainsclose to room temperature.
