AbstractLaser-field emission, or optical field emission, is a process that can produce electron beams with high charge density and high brightness with ultrafast response times. Using an extended nanostructure, such as a nanoblade, permits plasmonic field enhancement up to 80 V/nm with an incident ultrafast laser of wavelength 800 nm. Stronger ionizing fields lead to higher current densities, so understanding how this field is attained will aid in further increasing brightness. In this paper we lay the framework to study the nanoblade system thermomechanically and plasmonically. We show that, in the moving frame following the laser driver, a steady state is reached, allowing us to reduce the computational complexity of the multiphysics calculation. We derive Maxwell's equations and the current dynamical equation for the steady state in such a moving frame. We also derive the eigenproblem for finding plasmonic modes in the structure with a nonlinear dielectric. The planned calculations to come will allow us to predict peak attainable fields and optimal experimental parameters. We leave off with a discussion of directions for numerical implementation.
