Plasmonic nanocones offer strong, highly localized near-fields at the cone apex that can be utilized for applications in microscopy and sensing. However, for an efficient excitation of the tip mode the electric field vector of the exciting electromagnetic wave needs to have a significant component parallel to the vertical axis. To enable the excitation of the tip mode under vertical illumination, two processes for the nanofabrication of tilted gold nanocones with defined tip displacements are presented. The asymmetric geometry supports the transformation of an in-plane electric far-field to an out-of-plane plasmonic excitation. Extinction spectra and corresponding simulations will be shown, in which cones with different tilting angles are illuminated under various illumination angles. The tip excitation is confirmed by the nonlinear optical properties of the nanocones observed in second harmonic generation scanning microscopy with cylindrical vector beams.
