61. This value for the embedding medium refractive index is chosen since the nano-disks embedded in air have one side in contact with the glass substrate. In the calculation we don't account for the dispersion in the disks size, and we assume that the diameters are the average ones, although the dispersion in diameter can be easily included in Eq. (6) (following Ref. [62]), if required.
