Abstract
We present a method for mapping the electromagnetic field distribution in the vicinity of noble metal nanoparticles able to sustain localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The field distribution is coded by topographic change in a self-developing photosensitive polymer (PMMA-DR1). Metallic nanostructures are fabricated by e-beam lithography and optically characterised by extinction spectroscopy. Photoinduced topographic changes are checked by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The dipolar character of the surface modification around the particles agrees qualitatively with theoretical predictions and a strong correlation between LSPR position and the relief depth is found.
