We report the fabrication of metal nanostructures on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate by transferring polystyrene beads onto PDMS substrate followed by metal deposition. Experimentally tuning the plasmon resonance of the metal nanostructures was demonstrated by stretching the patterned PDMS substrate. The distance between adjacent nanodisks affects the coupling between the disks, leading to a repeatable and reversible shift in the spectrum. The device can be valuable in many applications such as bio/chemical sensing, reconfigurable optics, and the study of coupled resonances.

The plasmonic properties of asymmetric Au / SiO 2/ Au sandwiched cross-shape nanobars are investigated theoretically using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method. Two localized surface plasmon resonances are observed in the extinction spectra, which perform extreme sensitivity to the length and width of the nanobar and can be tuned easily throughout visible and into near-infrared spectral regions. The local electric fields around the nanobar are calculated and a pure electromagnetic Raman enhancement factor of about 106 can be achieved. In addition, compared to a monolayer gold nanobar, it exhibits more "hot spots" and stronger localized electric field enhancements. This plasmonic substrate provides potential applications in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and nonlinear optical devices.
