We report on the plasmonic mode relaxation of coupled optical gold nanoantennas under two-photon laser excitation at 810 nm [1]. An oil immersion objective lens is used both for the excitation and detection channel. The plasmon emission intensity from single nanostructures is detected using a single-photon-counting avalanche photodiode, the response spectrum is observed with an EMCCD camera.

We show that the plasmon spectra are very similar to the well known scattering resonances [2] for such structures, albeit now obtained from single frequency excitation. We also show that not only the longitudinal, but also the transversal plasmon mode can be excited, using excitation light polarized exclusively along the long axis of the dipole antenna.
