Figure 6.

(a) SCS and (b) absorption versus wavelength for elliptical Ag nanoparticles (solid line) and plexciton elliptical nanoshells (dashed line) consists of Ag core with a small radius of 10 nm and a large radius of 40 nm coated with a 5 nm of QE. The inset of (a) shows the electric field profiles at wavelength of (a) 783 nm, (b) 802 nm and (c) 823 nm.
