Modeling and analysis of optical properties of a gold nanoring based on electric and magnetic dipoles.
The optical behavior of a plane-wave excited gold nanoring (NR), originated from localized surface plasmon resonance is modeled by two coupled electric- and magnetic-point dipoles. Considering the extinction cross-section spectrum, it is found that the electric-dipole effect is dominant in comparison with the magnetic-dipole effect although the magnetic-dipole signature is observable in the near-field response of the NR. In addition, the far-field electromagnetic radiation pattern of the NR verifies the corresponding radiation pattern of the point dipoles. The numerical simulation near-field results are in agreement with the proposed electric- and magnetic-dipole theory.
