Abstract

In this paper, we show the experimental demonstration of plasmon propagation in cylindrical metallic nanoshells which is coated, via the electroless silver deposition method, on dielectric nanorods fabricated by using the direct laser writing method. The experimental measurement and the numerical analysis reveal the polarization sensitivity of the plasmon modes within the nanoshells. We further characterize the fundamental properties of these plasmon modes by exploiting their dispersive features and explain the mechanism for the excitation of the plasmon modes by identifying their radiative and nonradiative nature.

FTIR microscopy measurements for the reflection spectra with the two orthogonal linearly polarized incident beams. (a) Schematic illustration of the cross-section of the reflective FTIR microscope objective, symmetric around its axis (blue dashed line), depicting the hollow light cone (18° to 41°). (b) The excitation scheme of the plasmon mode of the nanoshell plasmonic waveguide for TE (electric fields perpendicular to the nanoshell cylinder axis) excitation and TM (electric field parallel to the nanoshell cylinder axis) excitation (c) The TE measurement shows a reflection dip at λ = 1.615 µm. The TM measurement does not show such a phenomenon.
