Abstract
We experimentally and theoretically determine the plasmon dispersion in coaxial waveguides. We demonstrate strong optical confinement at energies below the surface plasmon resonance. Furthermore, we find that the reflection coefficients of the coax end facets can be strongly tuned by changing the coax dispersion and surrounding dielectric, which provides a new route to optical cavities with ultrasmall mode volumes.
