<br/><br/> Colloidal solution of gold nanoparticles posses unique optical and photothermal properties due what is called surface plasmon resonance . The surface plasmon is the oscillation of metallic surface electrons due to interaction with the incident light . This leads to very strong absorption of the visible light which efficiently converted into heat
