We investigate plasmon/molecule interaction using Au nanowire arrays that have strongly polarized plasmonic modes. The energy of the longitudinal mode is tuned by varying the aspect ratio of the nanowires. A coupling to molecular excitons is evident from an analysis of the lineshape of the optical absorption. Theoretical modelling of the plasmonic spectrum confirms our experimental findings. Work supported by B-IGSM and NTH School for Contacts in Nanosystems.
