Abstract :
We demonstrate the evanescent coupling of light from a silica nanofiber into a silver nanowire to excite propagating plasmons in the silver nanowire. The plasmons can be transferred back to light at the other end of the silver nanowire. The polarization property of the output light is also investigated.
