Two cylinders

Questions & answers

What happens between two nanowires?

The wires couple: with light polarized across the gap, the field in a narrow gap between two metal wires becomes much stronger than near a single wire, and the resonance red-shifts as the gap closes.

Is the coupling calculation exact?

Yes: the scattered fields of both cylinders are coupled with the exact addition theorems, converged in the number of orders.

Can the wires be different?

Yes: choose each wire's material, diameter and shells, and their arrangement relative to the incoming light.
