Abstract
We report on the experimental observation of multipolar plasmon excitations in lithographically designed elongated silver particles. In contrast to sp heres, where the extinction bands of the respective multipolar plasmons ove rlap considerably to form a broad spectrum, spectrally well-separated extin ction bands corresponding to plasmons of multipolar order up to n=6 are fou nd. The results agree well with numerical simulations based on the Green's Dyadic method. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)03847 -X].
