title: Simple nanometric plasmon multiplexer.
abstract: We present a simple multiplexing structure made of two discrete plasmon wires coupled by two metal nanoclusters. We show that this simple nanosystem can transfer one plasmon wavelength from one wire to the other. Closed-form relations between the transmission coefficients and the nanocluster distances are given to optimize the desired directional plasmon ejection.
