This is possible due to the transient red-shift of the plasmon resonance of the gold nanowires under strong optical excitation and its coupling with the waveguide resonance mode. The effect can be tuned over a broad range in the visible region by changing the angle of incidence. References 1 K. Tvingstedt, N.-K. Persson, O. Inganäs, A. Rahachou, I. V. Zozoulenko, Appl. Phys.
