We use tabulated optical constants for gold, and the following dimensions: inner/outer radii in μ m 0.74 / 1.19 (2-6), 1.6 / 2.5 and 2.7 / 3.6 (8), 2.7 / 3. 6 (10), with a gap of 450 nm, respectively, 200 nm for structures (2-6) respectively, (10). For scatterers (2-6) we increased the outer arm length from 0 to 900 nm. Scatterer thickness is 30 nm throughout. The resonance wavelengths of the scatterers in μ m are 1.600, 15.40, 16.06, 16.41, 16.80, 17.58, 1.544, 62.50, 23.25, and 16.50 for structures (1-10). Resonances (8,9) are two resonances in one structure. JOAOD6 1084-7529 10.1364/JOSAA.26.000732
