Infrared radiation emitters used in this study are fabricated based on the principle of surface plasmon. The heat is generated by sending electric current to the molybdenum film on silicon substrate. The infrared source can be achieved by heating the triple layer structure which consists of a SiO2 layer between two Ag films on the molybdenum film. The top Ag layer is perforated by periodic holes, and the emission wavelength can be altered by changing the lattice constant and diameter of the hole arrays. In this study, plasmonic thermal emitters with different emission peak wavelengths, i.e., 3, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 μm, were designed and fabricated. The smallest full width at half maximum (FWHM) could be shrunk down to 0.5μm. The highest emitting power can reach 80mW/cm2 at a temperature of 160oC. After 72 hours exposure to infrared radiation with different wavelength, the hypocotyl lengths of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings were measured. HSP101 (heat shock protein) was used to verify that this phenomenon is not caused by thermal effects. Furthermore, Northern blot analysis is also applied to investigate the gene expression pattern of chosen genes GASA4, CHS and RbcS. Thus, different wavebands of infrared radiation affecting gene expression could be found. The infrared of wavelengths 5.0 and 4.0 μm inhibit the elongation of hypocotyl lengths by 9.0 and 13.1%, respectively. The 3.0, 3.5 and 4μm infrared irradiation do not affect the hypocotyl length of Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene expression of CHS and RbcS has significant change in this experiment, showing that the gene expressions of these two genes are not only induced by visible light but also influenced by infrared exposure.口試委員會審定書（中文）…………………………………………………..i試委員會審定書（英文）………………………………………………….ii謝…………………………………………………………………………………iiibstract (Chinese)…………………………………………………………...…ivbstract (English)……………………………………………………………….vhapter 1 Introduction…………………………………………………..1.1 Plant photo-physiology…………………………………………1.2 Purpose of this research…………………………………………3.3 Selected genes of Arabidopsis thaliana……………………5.4 Framework of the thesis…………………………………………7hapter 2 Chapter 2 The Fundamentals of Plasmonic Thermal Emitters……………………………………………………………..9.1 The fundamentals of surface plasmons………………….....9.1.1 Surface plasmons on smooth surfaces……………………..9.1.2 Surface plasmons on the surface with hole arrays…….15.1.3 Dispersion relation of surface plasmon in hexagonally ordered hole arrays…………………………………...19.2 Process flow………………………………………………………..22.2.1 Fabrication processes of metal hole arrays……………..22.2.1 Fabrication processes of plasmonic thermal emitter….24.3 Measuring Systems……………………………………………...27.3.1 Introduction of FTIR………………………………………..27.3.2 Thermal emitter chamber…………………………………..29hapter 3 Experimental Materials and Methods…………...31.1 Plant material and experimental setup……………………31.1.1 Plant material………………………………………………...31.1.2 Experimental setup………………………………………….32.2 Experiment flow………………………………………………….38.3 Student’s T-test……………………………………………………40.4 Gene expression pattern analysis………………………...…42.4.1 RNA isolation……………………………………..............…42.4.2 Northern blotting…………………………………………....43.5 The effect of temperature……………………...……………...46hapter 4 Results and discussion………….....................................47.1 Phenotype results…………...........................................................47.1.1 Infrared exposure experiment #1 (λp= 5 μm)...................47.1.2 Infrared exposure experiment #1 (λp= 4.5 μm)...............50.1.3 Infrared exposure experiment #1 (λp= 4 μm)...................53.1.4 Infrared exposure experiment #1 (λp= 3.5 μm)...............56.1.5 Infrared exposure experiment #1 (λp= 3 μm)...................59.2 Genotype results…………….........................................................63.2.1 Heat shock protein (HSP101)..............................................63.2.2 GASA4 expression..................................................................64.2.3 CHS and RbcS expression…………….…………..……….66.3 The absorption spectra of Arabidopsis………………..….67.4 Discussion…………….....................................................................71hapter 5 Conclusions.............................................................................75ppendix I – Arabidopsis seed sterilization protocol.....77ppendix II – Arabidopsis seed planting protocol.....................78ppendix III – RNA isolation protocol...........................................80ppendix IV – Northern blot analysis protocol............................82ppendix V – T-test results of experiment #1............................85ppendix VI – T-test results of experiment #2............................86ppendix VII – T-test results of experiment #3............................87ppendix VIII – T-test results of experiment #4…........................88ppendix IX – T-test results of experiment #5............................89eferences................................................................................................90igure Captionsig. 1.1…Three photosystems and corresponding absorption region of light...............2ig. 1.2…The (a) transmission spectra of filtered heat lamp and (b) emission spectra of a plasmonic thermal emitter at different temperatures…………………..5ig. 2.1… (a) SPs at the interface between a metal and a dielectric material.
