Popis: The luminescent nature of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) has been intensively investigated in recent years. Plasmon-enhanced electronic Raman scattering and the radiation channels of metallic photoluminescence (PL) involving conventional carrier recombinations and emergent particle plasmons are proposed in the past few decades but largely limited to weak excitation regimes. Here, we systematically examine the PL evolution of plasmonic NPs under different excitation power levels. The spectral resonances and chromaticity of PL are investigated within and beyond the scope of geometry conservation. Results indicate the nature of PL in plasmonic NPs could be a process of graybody radiation, including one factor of plasmonic emissivity in the weak excitation regime and the other factor of blackbody radiation in the strong excitation regime. This comprehensive analysis provides a fundamental understanding of the luminescent nature of plasmonic NPs and highlights their potential applications in transient temperature detection at the nanometer scale.
