Plasmonic oligomers: The role of individual particles in collective behavior

We demonstrate the transition from isolated to collective optical modes in plasmonic oligomers. Specifically, we investigate the resonant behavior of planar plasmonic hexamers and heptamers with gradually decreasing the inter-particle gap separation.
