Plasmons propagating on metallic nano wires (MNWs) with spherical cross sections are fully understood and analytical solutions for the decomposition of the fields in Mie modes exist. We have already shown that for helically curved wires, so-called plasmonic helices, also an analytical one-dimensional model can be used to calculate their coupling to circular polarized planar wave far-field excitation [1].
Here we first extend this model to also describe coupling of helices to point dipoles. This is done to explain the results from [2] which shows strongly directed emission. We also extend the model to more arbitrary curved wires to explain the near-field behavior of 3D Archimedian spirals as introduced in [3]. This powerful tool will allow the fast development of plasmonic wire geometries for tailored near-fields or far-field scattering.
