Abstract

A layer (10) of a material composition comprises a medium (2), which is transparent to electromagnetic radiation in an area and inside of which a single or a number of particles (3) is/are embedded that are created so that their frequency-dependent response to the irradiation of electromagnetic radiation has at least one resonance, particularly a plasmon resonance, whereby the medium (2) has an anisotropy of the refractive index that can be induced or altered by an electric field. The electric field generated by two electrodes (20) permits the plasmon resonance to be shifted and thus the production of an electrically controllable light modulation, particularly light scatter or light reflection and light absorption.
