TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmon excitation in pairs of identical Au nanoparticles by optical transmission spectroscopy was studied and it was shown that with decreasing interparticle distance the surface plasm resonance shifts to longer wavelengths for a polarization direction parallel to the long particle pair axis whereas a blueshift is found for the orthogonal polarization.

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum of the surface plasmon resonance of elongated gold nanoparticles to a wavelength, the position of which is precisely midway between the exciting laser line and the Raman line, was used to optimize the surface-enhanced Raman scattering effect.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmon modes on silver and gold nanowires of a fixed cross section and different lengths, produced by electron beam lithography were determined by extinction spectroscopy and can be interpreted in terms of standing Plasmon polariton waves.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguiding by SiO2 stripes on gold thin films is described by using the effective index method, which provides relatively large effective refractive indices compared to other SPP waveguide schemes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the principle and methodology of leakage radiation microscopy (LRM) applied to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is reviewed. And the authors show that LRM is a versatile optical far-field method allowing direct quantitative imaging and analysis of SPP propagation on thin metal films.
