  • Identified a lower bound cutoff frequency for surface plasmon excitations that blue-shifts with increased overlap.
  • Demonstrated strong, broad-band light harvesting between the cutoff and surface plasmon frequencies.
  • Showcased the robustness of this band gap feature against radiative losses and structural imperfections.

Conclusions:

  • Overlapping nanowires possess a robust plasmonic band gap feature suitable for light harvesting.
  • Nanofabrication imperfections do not significantly degrade the light-harvesting performance.
  • These findings suggest potential applications in the development of plasmonic band gap filters.
