Abstract

Using numerical calculation, we examine the effects of gap distance ofa pair of nano gap silver prisms with rounded corners on the locallight intensity enhancement. Two peaks due to localized surface plasmon(LSP) excitation are observed in a wavelength range from 900 nm to300 nm. The results demonstrate that peaks at a longer and a shorterwavelength corresponded to dipole-like and quadrupole-like LSPresonances, respectively. It is found that a gap distance up to 20 nmprovides larger light intensity enhancement than that of a singlesilver nano prism with rounded corners. Furthermore, nano gap silverprisms are fabricated by direct focused ion beam processing, and wemeasure the scattering light spectrum of a pair of nano prisms by aconfocal optical system. However, the two LSP peaks are not observed invisible range because the sizes of the nano gap and prisms are toolarge.
