Measured (λ=780 nm) scattering polarization from an 80-nm aperture and an 80-nm gold nanoparticle. (a) Polar plot (grey) of the scattering polarization for the aperture, and (b) for the nanoparticle with the chosen relative angles (ψ=14°, 90°, 166°) of (red) measured from (blue). (c) The scattering polarization (measured from , ψ_{sc, E}) versus ψ for the aperture (filled circles) and for the particle (open triangles).
