We report on the study of a plasmonic nanostructure that could be adopted as \udplatform for emitting and sensing applications. Several devices have been prepared and \udcharacterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform micro-reflectance (FT- \udR) techniques. In addition, a modelling via finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations \udhave been developed in order to interpret the morphological shape and the optical response of \udthe considered structures. Until now, remarkable performances as surface plasmon resonance \ud(SPR) based optical sensor have been founded. Moreover, we are performing preliminary trials \udin order to establish a coupling between photoluminescence (PL) features of suitable emitters \udwith respect to the plasmonic resonances
