Abstract
We investigate the phase-dependent excitation of localized surface plasmon polaritons in coupled nanorods by using nonlinear spectroscopy. Our design of a coupled three-nanorod structure allows independent excitation with cross-polarized light. Here, we show that the excitation of a particular plasmon mode can be coherently controlled by changing the relative phase of two orthogonally polarized light fields. Furthermore, we observe a phase relation for the excitation that is dominantly caused by damping effects.
