Recently, a new version of laser-induced fusion was proposed where implanted nanoantennas regulated and amplified the light absorption in the fusion target [L.P. Csernai et al., Phys. Wave Phenom. 28, 187–99 (2020)]. In this paper we estimate the nanoantenna lifetime in a dynamical kinetic model and describe how electrons are leaving the nanoantenna’s surface, and for how long the plasmonic effect is maintained. Our model successfully shows a nanorod antenna lifetime that will allow future fusion studies with top-energy short laser ignition pulses.
