Abstract
We report on the direct observation of localized surface plasmon coupling u sing a photon scanning tunneling. microscope. The surface plasmons are exci ted in gold nanostructures tailored by electron beam lithography. Electroma gnetic energy transfer from a resonantly excited nanoparticle to a nanowire , which is not directly excited by the incident light is observed. Our expe rimental results appear to be in good agreement with theoretical computatio ns based on Green's dyadic technique. [S0163-1829(99)08931-6].
