Abstract
A plasmon transmission line comprising a chain of metal nanospheroids is considered. It is shown that taking into account a finite size of spheroids leads to a significant change in the transmission characteristics of the chain of spheroids; in particular, the plasmon propagation length decreases dramatically.
