Abstract

Coupling of higher-order-mode light into a single sliver nanowire and the degree of the coupling can be controlled by adjusting the light polarization, showing that nanowire waveguide has no request on the spatial mode of the input light. Photons with different orbital angular momentums (OAM) are used to excite surface plasmons of silver nanowires. The experiment indicates the propagating modes of surface plasmons in nanowires were not the OAM eignenstates.
