Abstract
We demonstrate a simple, direct measurement of propagation losses in single silver nanowires. Using a waveguiding nanoscale fiber taper for highly efficient launching, propagation surface plasmon polaritons are excited in the silver nanowire with high efficiency. The output intensity as light radiation at the end of the nanowire is quantified with high accuracy and repeatability. A typical propagation loss of
