Abstract: Metallic nanogap dimers are extremely useful for enhancing surface-enhanced Raman scattering and various nonlinear optical effects employing near-field enhancement effects induced by the localized surface plasmon resonance. However, the metallic nanogap dimers exhibit an intense light scattering due to the strong dipole-dipole interaction between two metallic nanostructures and, therefore, are not necessarily a structural design that exhibits the highest near-field enhancement due to the radiation loss. Here, we propose further enhancement of the near-field on metallic nanogap dimers using quasi-dark plasmon modes. By coupling with gold (Au) nanorods having the same plasmon resonant wavelength, but completely different sizes, a quasi-dark plasmon mode, which reduces the radiation loss slightly, is induced, resulting in the elongation of the plasmon dephasing time. As a result, the signal of surface-enhanced Raman scattering of crystal violet molecules adsorbed on the Au nanogap dimer is enhanced up to about three times as compared to that measured using the Au nanogap dimer without the Au nanorods. Scattering spectrum measurements as well as electromagnetic simulations were performed to clarify the mechanism for further enhancement of the near-field. The proposed coupled plasmonic system is expected to be advantageous, especially in enhancing nonlinear optical effects using plasmonic enhancement effects.
