摘要

Abstract

Elongated plasmonic nanoparticles have been extensively explored over the past two decades. However

in comparison with the dipolar plasmon mode that has attracted the most interest

much less attention has been paid to multipolar plasmon modes because they are usually thought to be "dark modes"

which are unable to interact with far-field light efficiently. Herein

we report on an intriguing far-field scattering phenomenon

colour routing

based on longitudinal multipolar plasmon modes supported by high-aspect-ratio single Ag nanorods. Taking advantage of the distinct far-field behaviours of the odd and even multipolar plasmon modes

we demonstrate two types of colour routing

where the incident white light can be scattered into several beams with different colours as well as different propagation directions. Because of the narrow linewidths of the longitudinal multipolar plasmon modes

there is little spectral overlap between the adjacent peaks

giving rise to outstanding colour selectivity. Our experimental results and theoretical model provide a simple yet effective picture for understanding the far-field behaviour of the longitudinal multipolar plasmon modes and the resultant colour routing phenomenon. Moreover

the outstanding colour routing capability of the high-aspect-ratio Ag nanorods enables nanoscale optical components with simple geometries for controlling the propagation of light below the diffraction limit of light.
