Abstract
We establish the concept of a plasmonic polymer, whose collective optical properties depend on the repeat unit. Experimental and theoretical analyses of the super- and sub- radiant plasmon response of plasmonic polymers comprising repeat units of single nanoparticles or dimers of gold nanoparticles show that (1) the redshift of the lowest energy coupled mode becomes minimal as the chain approaches the infinite chain limit at a length of ∼10 particles, (2) the presence and energy of the modes are sensitive to the geometries of the constituents, that is, repeat unit, but (3) spatial disorder and nanoparticle heterogeneity have only small effects on the super-radiant mode.
