U. Ohya and S. Komatsu: Mode of coupled dipoles in metal nanoparticle chain arrays: polarization characteristics of tee structure, Extended Abstracts (Optics and Photonics Japan 2009) (2009) 546-547. (26aE2)

It is shown that the surface plasmon wave propagating along metal nanospheres reveals polarized or unpolarized characteristics depending on the plasmon mode, which is not concluded by simple superposition of the polarization state of the electric dipole moment approximating localized surface plasmon.
