Abstract

Surface optical plasmons on metal-dielectric boundaries of various shapes are studied. The study features by the exploration of plasmons of the frequency that is larger than ω_pl/√(2) and approximately equal to ω_pl. These plasmons exist on thin films, thin cylinders, and on spheres. Such a plasmon does not exist on a single surface. For applications the use of plasmons of the ~ω_pl frequency means the promotion of nanophotonics devices into a short wavelength range. For Ag this means the promotion to the wavelength of 140 nm.
