We studied closely spaced gold nanosphere chains on Pt mirrors exhibiting strong plasmon coupling between both horizontally and vertically oriented modes relative to the chain. Resonance modes originating from the plasmon couplings realized effective light concentration around the short nanosphere chain and showed red shifts with decreasing interparticle gap length, revealing the hybrid nature of the two plasmonic modes. Thanks to the effective light concentration, the short nanosphere chain demonstrated strong surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) that was not strongly affected by variations in the length of the gaps or when some of the spheres made contact with each other. Even with large gaps, the short nanosphere chain exhibited consistent SERS under a low excitation power of only 0.4 mW/mu m(2), owing to the geometrical robustness of the nanospheres and Pt plane supporting enhancement of the electric field in the sphere-plane gaps.
