Abstract

We report far-field experimental optical extinction spectra of linear chains of gold nanocylinders with interparticle separations close to the particle's surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength λSPR. The spectra reveal non-monotonic shift of the SPR peak position with increase in the distance d. The non-monotonic λSPR(d) dependence is rationalized considering electromagnetic coupling between the particles in the dipole approximation. Simple expressions for the modified SPR frequencies are obtained using the dipole scattered field and taking into account both the retardation and phase lag effects.
